tcottish 0-licence must be surrendered
TRAFFIC COMMISSIONER as agreed to raise the number f trucks on a Carlisle company's -licence, as long as its boss grecs to surrender his own ottish licence.
This decision follows the
vocation of a five-vehicle I cence held by Carlisle-based R Charnley & Grandsons by the North-Western Deputy Traffic
ommissioner, Mark Hinehliffe.
Hinchliffe also adjourned for ne month to consider a bid to i icrease the authorisation on the 0-licence held by the associated Richard Charnley & Sons to LO vehicles and five trailers. Managing director Richard Charnley held a Scottish 0-licence for five trucks in his own name.
He said his intention was to concentrate everything into Richard Chamley & Sons. He had obtained his CPC through "grandfather rights': The DTC was prepared to grant the R Charnley & Sons application provided adequate financial standing was shown, and if a transport manager with a CPC was nominated.
There must also be an undertaking that the Scottish 0-licence would be surrendered and various undertakings must
be given about maintenance (CM 11 June).
When the hearing continued, the DTC was told Chamley's son, James, was enrolled on a CPC course and that he would be taking the examination in September. The firm had sufficient money in a bank account in its name for the vehicles applied for.
After the DTC was told that it was not Richard Charnley's choice to surrender the Scottish licence, he said he would only grant the application if such a promise was given. A number of undertakings were given about maintenance.
The DTC said he would allow six months for the nomination of a CPC-qualified transport manager.
