• R yland Jenkins, trading as G&J Transport Services, has been granted a 12-month licence by South Wales Deputy Licensing Auth ority Lyndon Davies, despite two petitions and representations from local residents.
Jenkins had applied for a licence for 10 vehicles and 20 trailers, but reduced it to six vehicles and trailers during a Cardiff public inquiry. Davies said that he was satisfied about Jenkins' good repute and financial standing, and stressed that problems surrounding the operation when Jenkins was in partnership with John Gubbels no longer applied.
Residents said that the street was not built for heavy vehicles and the surface of the yard meant muck and slurry were constantly being carried into the road. There were times when residents were disturbed seven days a week. They could not use their gardens because of noise and fumes, and children were at risk from vehicles mounting the pavement.
The DLA granted a licence for one year, with conditions that restricted the times of operation with no more than one trailer at the operating centre at any time. He said that although the environmental aspects were far from desirable, he could only take account of the extra inconvenience and on balance he did not feel the situation would be worsened.
