rrHE Transport Tribunal reserved its
decision in London on Tuesday on an appeal by Griffiths Contractors, Ltd., of Pond Lane, Durringion, near Worthing, who carry horticultural produce from Sussex to the London markets.
They appealed against the refusal of the South Eastern Licensing Authority to grant an A licence for two 7-ton vehicles now on a C hiring licence. .
Mr. C. R. Beddington. for the appellants, said the two vehicles were engaged in caerying produce to Covent Garden and other markets for 16 growers in the West Sussex area. There was a very considerable demand from the growers for a better service than that provided by British Railways. Though a number of local hauliers had put in objections to the application before the Licensing Authority, none had seen fit to give evidence at the Tribunal.
Decision is to be given at an early date.
