Maintenance problems have resulted in the authorisation on the licence held by Newport-based UK European Transport Services, trading as Mallett Transport, being cut from 17 vehicles and 23 trailers to 14 vehicles and 19 trailers. The company had been called before Welsh Deputy Traffic Commissioner Roger Seymour at a Pontypool disciplinary inquiry. The company gave a series of undertakings in relation to its future vehicle maintenance arrangements.
The DTC held that the repute of the
company's nominated transport manager, John Mallet, was lost, giving it three months in which to find a replacement. However, he added that the TC would be prepared to consider reinstating Mallet's repute as a transport manager after a satisfactory maintenance investigation by Vosa, the fulfilment of all the undertakings, and a corresponding reduction in the number of prohibition notices issued.
