A SHROPSHIRE OPERATOR that said it was too busy to engage with the traffic commissioner (TC) and treated the regulatory process with contempt has had its licence revoked.

The licence for the Bridgnorth firm had been granted in May 2020, with an undertaking it would submit evidence of appropriate funds, but by July 2021 TC Nick Denton had lost patience with it for failing to do so. "Weary of this endless ping-pong, I decided to call the operator to a public inquiry to resolve the matter once and for all," Denton said in his written decision.
