Response to consultation on Statutory Documents

The Senior Traffic Commissioner, Richard Turfitt, has today published his response to the consultation on proposed changes to the Statutory Documents, following discussions with industry.

The summary of responses to the consultation can be found here.

The sixteen documents, which cover key aspects of the regulatory work undertaken by traffic commissioners, provide detailed advice on how the operator licensing system functions.

They also set out the standards which haulage, bus and coach operators are expected to meet, as well as giving guidance and directions to commissioners when carrying out their tribunal functions.
