AFTER a two-day hearing in Aberdeen last week the Scottish deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. B. Birnie. reserved his decision on an application by Inverdon Transport Co. Ltd. The company was asking for an A licence for seven existing vehicles, four of which are currently on Contract A licence, and for three additional vehicles including three refrigerated containers, The vehicles arc wanted for the carriage of frozen foodstuffs, meat products, poultry and other foods within Scotland and to London, the North Midlands, the West and South East of England and South Wales.
Objectors were British Railways, Charles Alexander and Partners (Transport) Ltd., Sutherlands of Peterhead (Road Hauliers) T.td.. and John Rhind Transport Ltd., Aberdeen.
Mr. A. 1, Thom, managing director of Ross Chicken (Aberdeen) Ltd., said that his board did not like contract licences and wanted to be free to hire from Inverdon. Another Ross executive, Mr. A. B. Thain, said he had been told that rates would be more economical with vehicles on open A licence; he insisted on refrigeration as customers were demanding it and when he had had to use insulated transport there had been complaints. Also supporting the application were Mr. T. D. Paton of FAVI.C. Meat Ltd. and Mr. J. Mitchell, chairman and managing director of Buchan Meat Producers Ltd.
Mr. D. Brown, for the objectors, asked for the entire application to be refused on the grounds that evidence had not been submitted to justify the "extreme increase in facilities" which a grant would bring.
