reported that in view o: further complaints from reslc.ents at

Ithe Traffic Manager of the Rlbble ’Bus Company. A suggestion had been made to the Couhefi that one remedy would be to make the first stop from Clitheroe, at 'West|Brad- ford. This would prevent people living on the outskirts oi Clitheroe from filling the vehicle. lie was informed by the Traffic ■ Manager, however, that this coure^'was im­ possible. owing to the tei'ms]of the licence under which the Company operated. The i Traffic Manager asked the residents of Grlridleton to appreciate their iifficulties, which were chiefly cause i by petrol restrictions. At the same time, he promised to give the m;itter. every cohsideration and to examine the possibility of ! running separate ’buses to Pimlico or Weri; Bradford.
