Scaffolder Given Time to Apply for New Licence

This Scaffolding Operator held a restricted licence as a sole trader but had set up a limited company. The limited company was named as the registered keeper of some of the vehicles listed on the sole-trader Operator’s Licence. Not only had the restricted licence been used to transport property belonging to the limited company, the Operator had failed to respond to Offence Rectification Notices and had continued to operate a vehicle which had been prohibited.

The Traffic Commissioner directed that the existing licence be revoked on a future date, allowing time for an application for a Standard National Licence to be made and granted.
