LEEDS-BASED On Time Scaffolding has failed in a bid for the return of an impounded vehicle before North-Eastern Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney.
Senior traffic examiner Paul Walton told a Leeds public inquiry that in January, a 7.5-tonne vehicle loaded with scaffolding equipment was brought into the Ainley Top weighbridge at Halifax by aVosa stop vehicle.
Thedriver,KevinWager, said he was employed by On Time Scaffolding of Seacroft, a company run by his brother Melvyn Wager.
No 0-licence identity disc was being displayed. and enquiries revealed no trace of the company holding an 0-licence. However, an application for an 0-licence by the company had been refused in April 2006.
According to the TC, the company had written to say it had applied for an 0-licence in January 2006 but had been refused on grounds of finance; it had re-applied for a licence in May but had not had a response.
Refusing to return the vehicle, the TC said the vehicle was plainly being used for commercial purposes when it was impounded. It was being used without licence authority and he considered the owner had knowledge of its use — and the requirement for an 0-licence.
