• Husband and wife Mary and Brian Price, both of whom hold Operator's Licences, failed to appear at disciplinary proceedings before West Midland Deputy Licensing Authority Roger Seymour.
Mary Price, trading as Price to Move, of Claims Lane, Worcester holds a threevehicle licence based at Unit 229, Artie Trading Estate, Droitwich Road, Hartlebury. The DLA was considering action against her licence under Section 69 of the Transport Act and Regulation 9 of The Goods Vehicles (Operators' Licences, Qualifications and Fees) Regulations.
Adjourning the proceedings until December, Seymour said that Mrs Price's notice of the inquiry had been served by recorded delivery. He was prepared to give her one more opportunity to attend, but her licence would be revoked if she failed to attend on the next occasion.
Brian Price, trading as Brian Price Removals, of Tunnel Hill, Worcester, also holds a threevehicle licence based at the same operating centre as his wife. Seymour said Mr Price had been called to the Birmingham public inquiry because he had failed to comply with a statement of intention with relation to drivers' records, and

because of an allegation of failing to park his vehicles at the operating centre. The recorded-delivery letter notifying Mr Price of the date of the inquiry, had been returned undelivered to the Traffic Area Office.
Adjourning the proceedings until December, Seymour said that Mr Price would also lose his licence if be failed to appear.
