OPERATORS of A-licence vehicles who have to disclose a change in their normal user need not fear action by the Licensing Authority, providing they can make out a good case for the change,
This was illustrated at Birmingham last week, when an operator applied for a new A licence while his existing one was still in force because the work had altered. It was believed to be the first case of its kind to go before the West Midland Authority, Mr. W. P. James.
J. and S. Jennings, Ltd., Linshes Bridge, Pensnett, were granted a licence with an amended user to cover six vehicles. These had formerly been employed mainly on steel carriage, but the new user stipulated: "General goods, chiefly castings, forgings and steel, mainly local, also London, Bristol, South Wales, Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield."
Mr. J. F. Wood, traffic manager, said they had decided to put their house in order following comments at a renewal application last April.
Mr. James examined certified figures and heard evidence from three customer witnesscs before making the grant. He said it was one of the first attempts by an operator to put matters right wh,m he found that the user was not in accordance with the work being done.
