The traffic commissioner for the West Midlands, Nick Denton (pictured), has taken regulatory action against two builders' merchant companies that had fallen foul of the rules. The first case involved M K Builders Merchants of Birmingham, which held a restricted operator's licence, meaning that HGV operation was not its core business. It was found to have a very poor maintenance record and almost no understanding of the rules. The company had given assurances that it would improve compliance after a DVSA investigation had reported problems in 2019. The traffic commissioner found that these assurances had not been followed up by any effective action. In response, Denton revoked the company's licence, and disqualified the company and its director from holding a licence for 12 months. |
