A COMPANY which took "great efforts" to improve its maintenance regime has regained its revoked licence at an appeal to the Transport Tribunal.
Last October Welsh Traffic Commissioner David Dixon revoked the licence held byTenby-based Enviroventure and disqualified one of its directors,Nening Jones, from holding an 0-licence for two years.
This decision has been quashed by the Transport Tribunal which instead cut the licence from three vehicles and two trailers to two vehicles and one trailer and suspended it for two weeks.
The licence had been granted in December 2003 after the company gave Welsh Traffic Commissioner David Dixon a series of undertakings (CM18 December 2003). Al the hearing in October the TC heard of a series of prohibitions imposed on its vehicles and trailers and failures to comply with these undertakings (CM28 October 2004).
Paul Carless,for the company, told the Tribunal that the TC had failed to give sufficient weight to the new regime that had been put in place.There had been no prohibitions or other maintenance related concerns in the five months before the public inquiry The Tribunal had no doubt the company's history was appalling, but it did seem to have woken up to its responsibilities and tried put its house in order.
While some action needed to be taken against the licence, they were satisfied that the company should be given one more chance to show it could fully comply with the licensing regime.
