THE revocation of the five-vehicle international O-Licence held by Harlow-based Pamela Hibberd, trading as P&R Travel and P&R Minibus and Coach, by Traffic Commissioner (TC) Richard Turfitt without a Public Inquiry (PI) after Ms Hibberd had requested one, has been quashed by the Upper Tribunal on appeal reports route-one.net

On 10 February the Office of the Traffic Commissioner (OTC) wrote to Ms Hibberd saying that the TC had been informed that she had been operating a limited company, P&R Travel, until that company was dissolved in November 2021, when she reverted to being a sole trader.

The letter said that, in view of that, the TC was considering making a direction to revoke the licence. The TC considered that she no longer satisfied the requirements to be of good repute, good financial standing and professionally competent. She was offered the opportunity to make written representations, to be received by 3 March. She was also given the opportunity to request a PI to offer further evidence as to why the licence should not be revoked – again, by 3 March.
