ECO-PLANT, a Welsh operator granted interim authority last August to continue the same business as its predecessor, the liquidated Bobcat (Wales), has had its substantive licence application refused.
However, its directors have been told this decision will not affect a fresh application they are submitting in the name of anew company, L&M Leasing.
Bobcat held a licence for nine vehicles and four trailers and Eco-Plant, of Bedwas, was seeking a licence for 10 vehicles and four trailers.
Welsh Deputy Traffic Commissioner Alan Jenkins was told at a resumed public inquiry that there had been a change in circumstances. Ray Saltiel, for Eco Plant, said the business had been sold in its entirety to a Birmingham company and the licence discs for seven vehicles had been surrendered.The company name had caused many problems and a new licence application was to be made in
the name of L&M Leasing. "This is a way of neatly closing the books," he said.
Sallie' said that although the directors were the same, the new company would sell Volvo equipment and not transport plant and equipment as before. Summary WITHOUT PREJUDICE
The DTC accepted that L&M Leasing was a separate company and made it plain that the refusal of Eco-Plant's application was a reaction to the change of circumstances which would not affect the new company's licence application.
