October 2026: 149 applications ## How to read Applications and Decisions Each traffic area publishes its own issue, usually every week, with a number and a date. A new application appears first under applications received. Statutory objectors (the police, local authorities and some trade bodies and unions) can object within 21 days of publication; the issue prints that objection deadline. The decision follows in a later issue, as a grant or a refusal. Bus and coach (PSV) operators appear in a separate weekly bulletin, Notices and Proceedings, which we read in the same way: their grants are in [new operator licences](https://haulierscope.co.uk/new-operator-licences). Public inquiries listed in either bulletin are on [upcoming public inquiries](https://haulierscope.co.uk/public-inquiries); licences revoked, surrendered or terminated have their own monthly lists at [licences revoked, surrendered or terminated](https://haulierscope.co.uk/licences-ended). Companies are named. Sole traders and partnerships are counted, not named, because their operator name is usually a person’s name. ## More data and tools - [**Upcoming public inquiries** Traffic Commissioner public inquiries listed for companies, by traffic area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/public-inquiries) - [**Haulier insolvency watch** Licences held by companies in liquidation or administration.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/insolvency-watch) - [**Companies House filing watch** Hauliers whose accounts are overdue at Companies House.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/filing-watch) - [**Continuation dates by month** Which operator licences are due for continuation, and when.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/continuations) - [**DVSA earned recognition list** Operators in DVSA's earned recognition scheme, by traffic area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/earned-recognition) - [**Data status** How old each source is and when we last checked it.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/status) - [**New operator licences granted** Every new goods and PSV licence granted, month by month, with the companies named.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/new-operator-licences) - [**Licences revoked, surrendered or terminated** Licences the Traffic Commissioners list each month as revoked, surrendered or terminated, in their own wording.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/licences-ended) - [**Traffic Commissioner decisions** Revocations, refusals, warnings and curtailments decided by the Traffic Commissioners, by outcome and area.](https://haulierscope.co.uk/tc-decisions) Guides - [Applications and Decisions explained](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/applications-and-decisions) - [How to get an operator licence](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/how-to-get-an-operator-licence) - [Operating centre rules](https://haulierscope.co.uk/guides/operating-centre-rules) DVSA file 7 Sep 2026 Source: DVSA operator licence data, file dated 7 September 2026, read 30 September 2026.
