Co., Huddersfield, was mentioned when the company opposed an application to the Yorkshire Licensing Authority by the Huddersfield General Carrying Co. for an extension of B-licence conditions and the addition of a vehicle for collection and delivery work.
Mr. Whitwam, the objector's assistant traffic manager, said that from October, 1948, to June, 1949, the tonnage carried by his company on joirrneys within the Road Haulage Executive's North Eastern Division (which includes Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Sheffield) dropped by 36 per cent., and traffic into and out of the division by 28 per cent.

The application was granted.
