• In Preston on Friday it was the applicant without any evidence who got the licence. Two entrants into the industry were applying for 8-licences for 1 i--ton vans to carry within 50 miles of base, and although Mr. J. Clegg of Lancaster had letters from four prospective customers, it was Mr. J. Orchard of Blackpool who, having produced no written or oral evidence, was granted a licence.
Mr. Orchard said he wished to carry odd pieces of furniture locally and agreed that the radius should be reduced to five miles. The North Western LA, Mr. C. R. Hodgson, said he realized it was difficult to bring along individuals who required this one-off kind of service. However, he cautioned Mr. Orchard not to come back and ask for a radius extension nor to undertake complete removals. Mr. Clegg was applying to carry furniture in the Lancaster area and said he would reduce the radius to 15/16 miles. Objecting for four local removers, Mr. J. S. Lawton pointed out that two of the supporting letters spoke of furniture shop deliveries and not the secondhand furniture suggested by the applicant.
Mrs. D. Redman, company secretary Sharpies and Sons (Lancaster) Ltd. said both Ribble Cabinet Co. Ltd. and J. Boardman Ltd., writers of two of the letters, were customers of theirs and in fact they used the regular services Sharpies operated in the district. Mr. Hodgson said the objectors had clearly shown they were able to do the work offered to Mr. Clegg and he would have to refuse the application.
