AT a special meeting the Bradford and District Road Hauliers Federation have decided to implement in full the 5 per cent rates increase—but it will not come into force until August 1. As well as increased costs, expensive delays at docks—sometimes of four days' duration —are a factor which the Federation has taken into account.
A statement after the meeting also stressed that the major problem in the Bradford district was the delay involved in loading and-unloading vehicles at local factories and warehouses, adding that such delays were now "regarded as a local custom ".
