IT'S NOT OFTEN you'll find a truck driver supporting allaffic Commissioner in his views but in this instance it's exactly what's j happening. I can only praise Tc. Christopher Heaps for his ,;tand against the increasing centralisation of 0-licensing ;Ipplications (CM 23 November) ,ind the effect it will have on the l'Cs ability to make informed decisions. If they cannot see all the information then how are they meant to best serve the industry they regulate?
Decent operators may think that they have nothing to worry about from the changes but that view is far from reality. Think about it: cowboy firms will be rubbing their hands with glee in the knowledge that they will now be able to get a licence without any difficult questions being as1 For those running 100% this will mean another cotr that is able to undercut the or able to go bust and reaps virtually overnight.
I appreciate that the TA not always perfect but at le they have local knowledge understanding.
