SCOTLAND’s traffic commissioner has refused to grant a licence to a Johnstone operator after finding that a man implicated in a BBC documentary over illegal waste disposal was likely to be running the business, writes Chris Tindall.
PHR Grab Hire was already operating on interim authority, but it had applied for a standard international licence and at a Glasgow public inquiry to consider the request, TC Claire Gilmore heard evidence from the sole director and transport manager Ian McNaught.
He said he had started the business and, as well as being the director, he also drove a grab hire lorry undertaking utilities work, sub-contracted from Glenevin Construction.
