The Traffic Commissioner for Western England decided:
SECTIONS 18, 19, 20 OF THE TRANSPORT ACT 1985
Action pursuant to s.20(5)(a) of the Act:
-
following a finding that the operator as currently operating is not an exempt body, the large vehicle s.19 permits issued to this operator in my name are revoked with effect from 24 July 2023.
-
following a separate finding that the operator does not have suitable arrangements to keep the large vehicles fit and serviceable, the large vehicle permits are revoked with effect from 24 July 2023.
Action pursuant to s.20(5)(b) of the Act:
-
having consulted the issuing body, the Community Transport Association, and noting their support, and following a finding that the holder is not an exempt body as defined by s.18(5) of the Act and, alternatively or additionally, because the operator has demonstrated that it is not capable of maintaining a medium size fleet in a fit and serviceable condition, I revoke FIFTEEN of the twenty small vehicle s.19 permits held with effect from 24 July 2023.
-
a copy of this decision is to be sent to the Charity Commission to consider the anomalous position as described at paragraphs 21 – 24. A copy is also to be sent to Kingston Maurward College so that it is aware of my findings herein.
