Section 1 – Applications Received Inspection of licence applications can be requested under the provisions of Regulation 9 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations 1995 by anybody who holds statutory objector status. Applications may be inspected free of charge at the Office of the Traffic Commissioner in Leeds by any person who carries written authorisation to act in that capacity. Objections against published applications may be made in writing by a Chief Officer of Police, a local authority, a planning authority or a prescribed trade union or association within 21 days of the date on which notice of an application is published in Applications and Decisions. Objections must be made either on the grounds that any of the requirements listed in Section 13 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 are not met and/or that a nominated operating centre will be unsuitable for use as such. A copy of the objection must be sent by the objector to the applicant at the same time that it is sent to the Traffic Commissioner. The onus of proof in terms of the grounds on which an objection is lodged lies with the objector. You may fax a copy of your objection to 0113 2488521 but please note that you must send the original signed document through the post. Classification of Operator Licences – There are three classes of licence:

• A Restricted (R) licence authorises the use of a goods vehicle on public roads in Great Britain for the carriage of the licence holder’s own goods in the course of his trade or business. The licence holder cannot carry goods for other people for hire or reward;

• A Standard National (SN) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward, on public roads in Great Britain. He can also carry his own goods on journeys abroad;

• A Standard International (SI) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward. These activities can be undertaken both in Great Britain and on international journeys.

Section 2.4 – Variation Applications Refused

No Entries

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Section 3 – Schedule 4 Applications Schedule 4 to the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 allows, in certain situations, the transfer of operating centres from one existing licence to either another existing licence or as part of a new licence application. A range of qualifying criteria has to be met, with approval at the Traffic Commissioner’s discretion. An important consideration in the process is any environmental history relating to the subject operating centre or any potentially adverse environmental impact resulting from the transfer. Legislation prevents any statutory objection against the Schedule 4 element of an application.

13

New Applications (Section 3.1): where the Traffic Commissioner has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 2 of Schedule 4 shall apply, objections may only be lodged against the published application under Section 12(1)(a) of the 1995 Act, disregarding the suitability of the operating centre for use as such by the applicant as set out in Section 13(5)(d) of the Act. Variation Applications (Section 3.2): where the Traffic Commissioner has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 4 of Schedule 4 shall apply, objections may again only be lodged against the published application under Section 12(1)(a) of the 1995 Act unless that transfer can be accommodated without any overall increase in the existing overall vehicle/trailer authorisation on the receiving licence, in which case there is no statutory requirement to publish details of that application.

Public Inquiry (51432) held at Cardiff Magistrates Court, Fitzalan Place, Cardiff, CF24 0RZ on the 24th of November 2015 at 10:30 hours (Previous Publication:(8437)) OG1087931 SN GRIFFITHS HAULAGE LIMITED Director(s): ELIS WYN GRIFFITHS. BRITHDIR, 1 GELLI AUR ESTATE, BRONWYDD ARMS CARMARTHEN SA33 6BE 1. That the application to increase authorisation to 6 vehicles is withdrawn 2. The following grounds for action are established;

i. section 6; operating a vehicle in addition to specified vehicles,

ii. section 26(1)(a); operating from an unauthorised operating centre,

iii. section 26(1)(f); undertakings regarding observing the rules on driver’s hours and keeping proper records not complied with,

iv. section 26(1)(h); material change not reported, i.e. the transport manager was

not engaged in employment,

v. section 27(1)(c); the transport manager has not fulfilled his role since the start of the licence in 2009.

3. The Director, Elis Griffiths, has (at best) not identified that his drivers card was being used by one of his drivers. He has been content to operate with complete disregard for the mandatory requirement to engage an effective transport manager. 4. In acting in such a manner, the sole director has put the company’s repute and the existence of the licence in severe jeopardy. Even at the date of the public inquiry the operator has set up a wholly unsatisfactory “cash in hand” arrangement with Graham Ward, a transport manager who is employed full-time, Monday to Friday. 5. The Deputy Traffic Commissioner weighs in the balance the positive features, namely, the generally satisfactory vehicle examiner and traffic examiner reports on systems, the engagement of Tachoman Ltd and the absence of prohibitions or public inquiry history. 6. It is only these factors which enabled the Deputy Traffic Commissioner to hold back from revocation of the operators licence. Strong regulatory action is inevitable and having considered representations on behalf of the operator;

i. the licence is curtailed to 1 vehicle with effect from 30th November 2015,

ii. an undertaking is imposed to engage a transport manager for a minimum of 6 hours per week on a written contract of employment/engagement. Payments to the transport manager are to be evidenced on company bank statements.

iii. an undertaking is imposed to engage independent transport consultants to

report on tachographs, working time directive and driver’s hours compliance every month. A summary report is to be sent to the Office of the traffic Commissioner after 12 months.

Public Inquiry (51587) held at Cardiff Magistrates Court, Fitzalan Place, Cardiff, CF24 0RZ on the 20th of November 2015 at 10:30 hours (Previous Publication:(8437)) OG1111668 R J GRAHAM HALE LTD Director(s): MARILYN ELIZABETH HALE, JONATHAN GRAHAM HALE. UNIT 2, MILLAND ROAD INDUSTRIAL ESTATE , NEATH SA11 1NJ Adverse findings are made under section 26(1)(c)(iii) and section 26(1)(f) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 No adverse finding under section 26(1)(h) of the Act. Because of the undertakings recorded on the licence the company is issued with a formal warning in respect of the failures identified. The following undertakings agreed to at the inquiry will be recorded on operator’s licence:

i. Both Jonathan Hale and Julian Thomas will attend an all day operator licence awareness course within 3 months;

ii. The operator will utilise a consultancy service to advise on maintenance systems and documentation and this will be commenced within 28 days; and,

iii. In 9 months there will be an independent audit of maintenance systems and

documentation – and additionally – drivers’ hours and records, the audit to be copied to both the OTC in Birmingham and the local DVSA office.

The company’s application to increase authorisation from 2 vehicles and 1 trailer to 4 vehicles and 1 trailer is granted as sought.

Public Inquiry (51604) held at Cardiff Magistrates Court, Fitzalan Place, Cardiff, CF24 0RZ on the 20th of November 2015 at 13:30 hours (Previous Publication:(8437)) OG1139258 R HURLEY G & B LTD Director(s): RICHARD BROWN, KYLE HURLEY, MARTIN HURLEY, ROBERT HURLEY. UNIT 48, MERTHYR TYDFIL INDUSTRIAL PARK, PENTREBACH MERTHYR TYDFIL CF48 4DR Evidence on file includes statements from a traffic examiner which confirms interviews with the director and driver of a vehicle. Key issues are as follows: • there has been operation of a vehicle prior to an operator’s licence being granted, or even applied for; • the driver employed by the applicant was driving a 7.5 tonne vehicle and failed to stop for an enforcement officer. I have a note that the driver has been convicted and fined for the offence of resisting or wilfully obstructing a stopping officer. It transpires that the driver does not have a vocational licence and so I can take no action in respect of vocational entitlements; • despite the director being told that an enforcement officer wanted details of the driver this was not supplied until there was a further call, it was claimed that the director had lost the traffic examiner’s telephone number - a feature that I consider lame as there was an opportunity to make enquiries to ascertain the number. I remind myself that at this stage an application had been made for an operator’s licence and so the director would have been in a position to make tentative enquiries; • the driver was apparently employed under a contract of employment. It is not clear whether he is still employed by the applicant. I would want to know what disciplinary action was taken in respect of that driver. The absence of the applicant to answer questions from me at Public Inquiry has not helped the application for an operator’s licence. I remind myself that as this is an application that the onus is on the applicant to satisfy me that it is not unfit to hold an operator’s licence. I have no hesitation in confirming that in light of the information that I have and in view of the absence of explanations I make a finding that the applicant has failed to satisfy me that it is not unfit to hold an operator’s licence. The application for an operator’s licence is refused.

AVONDALE WAY, AVONDALE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE , CWMBRAN NP44 1TS 1. The following grounds for action are made out;

i. section 27(1)(a); absence of professional competence, transport manager Alan Jianikos was not engaged in the role despite nomination at the time of application,

ii. sections 26(1)(b) and (f); change in maintenance and transport manager

arrangements without notification of the Traffic Commissioner, 2. The Deputy Traffic Commissioner is satisfied that the investigation and public inquiry have acted as a sufficient wake up call to the operator and the appointment of Mr. Fitzgerald as director, Mr. Bachelor as additional transport manager and improvements to compliance administration will enable compliant operation in future. 3. A formal warning is recorded on the licence. 4. The following undertakings are recorded on the licence.

i. Finances are to be evidenced in a format complying with the Senior Traffic Commissioner’s statutory document no.2 and until such time as produced, the application to increase authorisation to 4 vehicles will not come into effect.

ii. Mr. Lee Bachelor is to be added as a secondary transport manager for a

minimum of 10 hours per week.

iii. Both directors are to attend an operators licence awareness course by 31st January 2016,

iv. Maintenance systems, maintenance documentation and vehicle inspections will

be audited by an independent trade association by 31st December 2016. Audit reports will be prepared, acted upon and retained for at least 2 years.
