• After an agricultural contractor had narrowed the conditions of the B licence he sought for two vehicles and had given an undertaking with regard to further facilities, 12 hauliers withdrew their objections to the application in Leeds last week.
J. D. Ireland, Sherburn, Vale of Pickering, was seeking to carry three agricultural commodities at different seasons. For the applicant, Mr. P. Kenny said these vehicles had been on short-term licence since April 1967 but that some of the traffic had been carried by him within a farming partnership with his father, under C licence for three years prior to this.
Mr. Ireland also sought to carry sugar beet to, and sugar beet pulp from, the British Sugar Corporation, York.
Mr. Ireland also sought to carry fertilizers on behalf of Hargreaves Fertilisers Industries Ltd., within 200 miles of Bridlington. For the multi-drop type of delivery involved, it was essential that the haulage contractor was familiar with farming practices, said Mr. Kenny.
An undertaking was given by the applicant that he would not seek, within the next 12 months, to carry agricultural produce and requisites for local farmers or corn for Byass Ltd., but the objectors, represented by Mr. J. Taylor, said they would not seek to restrict Mr. Ireland with regard to rights he might acquire under any new legislation introduced. The licence was granted as amended.
