• North Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority Brian Horner has renewed the licence of steel stockholders Henry Barrett Group, but for fewer vehicles and trailers than requested.
Henry Barrett had applied for an additional eight vehicles and nine trailers, bringing its total authorisation at its Bradford operating centre to 25 vehicles and trailers. Because of his concern over the company's maintenance record, Horner was only prepared to grant a licence for 20 vehicles and trailers.
The renewal application also attracted environmental representations from neighbouring residents. Vehicle examiner David Howram said that in July he had imposed immediate prohibitions on three out of five trailers inspected. The main problem was loose wheelnuts. The inspection period of six weeks had been extended to 12 weeks in some cases and clips fitted to prevent the wheelnuts becoming loose did not in fact keep the wheelnuts secure.
Divisional director John Wood said the company had written to the residents, saying that it would resurface the internal road and stop vehicles from using the road at night. Planning permission had been obtained for a new car park which would prevent vehicles from queuing in the road outside the operating centre.
Granting the licence for 20 vehicles and trailers, Horner said a commitment to make life more comfortable for the residents was required. A lot of it was just good housekeeping.
The condition of the three trailers had been horrifying, he said, and directed that another fleet check be carried out during the next 12 months.
