Objections from a number of operators, including British Railways and British Road Services, were withdrawn when it was learnt that this was in fact all that Mr. Pengelly was applying to do.
The original application stated that he wished to expand the operating radius of his business from 25 to 100 miles for livestock, feeding stuffs, agricultural produce and requisites.
Mr. Earland, a farmer, who said he bred a nationally known herd of pigs, supported Mr. Pengelly's application by letter. Another, Mr. Pike, said he used Mr. Pengelly for transporting sheep to places like Bridgwater, Taunton and Exeter and would like him to operate as far a's Salisbury. "I had 112 sheep stranded in Salisbury a fortnight ago because the lorries were so busy," he said.
Mr. G. Mercer for the B.T.C., said they had no objection to Mr. Pengelly operating occasionally for Mr. Pike and Mr. Earliind.
Mr. Nelson granted a licence to cover livestock for the two farmers up to a radius of 100 miles and to move other livestock, feeding stuffs, agricultural produce and requisites up to a radius of 25 miles.
