AN 0-LICENCE application has been adjourned so it can be dealt with by the Deputy Traffic Commissioner who revoked the licence held by the applicant's husband.
Manchester-based Kimberley Wilkinson, trading as North West Truck & Plant, was seeking a new one-vehicle restricted licence before the North-Western Traffic Commissioner Beverley Bell.
Her husband Alan Wilkinson had had his licence revoked for the forgery of maintenance records.
The TC said she was concerned about possible links with Stone Plant & Waste, whose licence applications had been withdrawn, and with Riverside Recycling, whose licence had been revoked.
Kimberley Wilkinson said she needed a vehicle to remove waste from the waste disposal site run by her husband, instead of paying others to take it away. Alan Wilkinson said he had been left "in the deep end" when his father and brother left the family demolition business, Wilkinson Contractors, and he moved into waste disposal.
In summer 2007 he felt he needed help and Stone Plant & Waste offered to take over the operation. He was told it had an 0-licence.
Stone Plant & Waste subsequently left but he retained the waste licence for the yard. It had done the same with another firm, Riverside Recycling.
Alan Wilkinson's application for an 0-licence after the Wilkinson Contractors licence was not continued had been refused. He believed this was because of 13 prohibitions in three years.
The TC said the licence had been refused by DTC Lester Maddrell because of the forgery of maintenance records; Wilkinson replied that he had been under pressure at the time and had "paid the penalty': Adjourning the hearing, the TC said it was effectively an application by Alan Wilkinson and she felt DTC Maddrell was the best person to deal with the case.
