• On an undertaking being given that the pattern of work would remain unchanged and only one low-loading trailer, capable of carrying 90 tons, would be in use at any one time, Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, appearing for Sunter Bros. Ltd., Siddle C. Cook Ltd. and Robert Wynn and Sons Ltd. told the Yorkshire LA, Mr. H.E. Robson at Leeds on Monday that the objections would not be pursued. Elliott (Hauliers) Ltd., of Rufforth near York, succeeded on an A-variation application to delete one trailer (251 tons) drawbar or low-loader and add one trailer (32 tons) drawbar, low-loader or flat. The normal user attached to the licence was specified as: "plant, machinery, abnormal indivisible loads, England, Scotland and Wales". An objection by BRS (Pickfords) had previously been withdrawn.
In making the grant Mr. Robson said he had noted the undertaking given and felt the new trailer would be a considerable advantage to road safety.
For applicant, Mr. P. Kenny referred to the new trailer as a very heavy class of low
loader, very modern, on 12 wheels front and rear and having steerable bogies. It cost £28,000.
