• A bid by Hillingdon-based Collins Road Services to vary restrictive conditions on the renewal of the company's inter national licence was rejected at an Uxbridge public inquiry by the South Eastern & Metropolitan Licensing Authority Brigadier Michael Turner.
CRS, of Chaneys Warehouse, West Drayton Road, Hillingdon, applied to renew its licence for 15 vehicles and
four trailers, and to vary the times it is permitted to operate Out of the centre from 07:30-18:30hrs Monday to Friday to 06:00-21:00hrs Monday to Friday. Hillingdon Borough Council and two neighbouring residents opposed the application.
For the company, Colin Ward pointed out that since the conditions had been imposed a bypass had been opened adjacent to the operating centre, increasing the amount of traffic and the noise generated by over 100%. However,
Brigadier Turner accepted arguments from the council and the residents that a relaxation of
the conditions would increase the environmental disturbance suffered by the residents.
Brigadier Turner renewed the licence subject to the existing conditions.
