Carrier's License Claims An Ashburton Council Debate
At a council meeting in Ashburton the issue of a carrier's license drew debate as the Mayor and Dr Friedlander discussed railway restrictions.

The council may seek guidance from headquarters while aiming to support the carrier who has already spent about £80 on equipment. The mayor proposes to vet a formal reply from head office.
