A Slough-based haulage business has lodged an application to expand its operating footprint in the area by adding a new centre off the Colnbrook Bypass.
What the application requests
Fullers Distribution Limited, which is registered at 126 Fairlie Road in Slough, has applied to the Traffic Commissioner to licence an additional operating centre at Speedway Farm on the Colnbrook Bypass. The proposal specifies space for six goods vehicles and six trailers.
Who can respond and how
Under the licensing rules, local residents and landowners who believe the increased operations may affect the use or enjoyment of their property are entitled to make representations. Those wishing to object must submit written representations to the Traffic Commissioner by 18 August. Guidance on how to respond is available on the government website and a copy of any representation must also be sent to the applicant.
Local implications
If approved, the new operating centre could mean regular vehicle movements to and from the Colnbrook Bypass site. The application does not specify vehicle schedules, parking arrangements beyond the numbers listed, or measures to mitigate local impact; such details are commonly raised by residents in representations to the regulator.

The Traffic Commissioner considers both objections and supporting representations when deciding whether to grant or refuse a licence. Common concerns in cases of this type include increases in local noise, road safety and parking pressures; supporters may point to economic benefits or operational necessity. The public notice accompanying the application directs interested parties to the government's public notices portal for full details.
Anyone unsure about the process should consult the official guidance on making representations to the Traffic Commissioner and ensure a copy is sent to Fullers Distribution Limited as required by the procedure.
