Section 1.

SCHEDULECertification of Travel Concessions

1Not less than fourteen days before making an application under subsection (3) of section one of this Act a local authority shall publish in at least one newspaper circulating in the locality an advertisement of the proposed application.

2Any such advertisement shall set out the travel concessions (including any relevant terms, limitations or conditions) alleged to have been granted by the authority and the descriptions of persons in relation to which each of the concessions is alleged to have been granted, and shall state that any person may within fourteen days from the publication of the advertisement, by notice in writing given to the local authority and to the licensing authority for public service vehicles, object to the giving of the certificate applied for on the ground that travel concessions were not being granted by the local authority as alleged.

3Before determining any such application the licensing authority shall afford to the local authority and to any person who has duly given notice of objection under the last foregoing paragraph an opportunity of being heard, and shall then in accordance with their findings either grant the certificate applied for, with or without modifications, or refuse a certificate.
