PAA HAULAGE contractor, who was accused of sending an outsize load through Rowley Regis without giving two days' notice, told the town's magistrates, last week, that he had been unable to keep to a route drawn up by the Ministry of Transport because of traffic islands and low bridges. Walter Jeffrey Weavers, of Clerkenleap Filling Station, near Worcester, was fined 05 for the offence. The driver, Ernest John Richard Pengelly, of The Alma Inn, Droitwich Road, Worcester, was fined £1 for not having a driving licence. Supt. Crook said that the lorry, a low-loader, was carrying a 20-ton section of a steel chimney from Netherton, near Dudley, to Kent. It was 26 ft. long, the maximum height was 18 ft. and the maximum width 15 ft.
