What the notices say
- Revoked
- The Traffic Commissioner revoked (cancelled) the licence. These rows come from the section “Licences Revoked” of the weekly notices. Revocations decided at a public inquiry are published as inquiry decisions: see Traffic Commissioner decisions and public inquiries.
- Surrendered
- The holder gave the licence up. A surrender is the holder’s own step, for example when a business closes, moves its vehicles to another licence or changes its legal entity.
- Terminated
- The licence came to an end. The notice does not give the reason.
Each row quotes the heading it was printed under, its section number, the issue number and date, and links the GOV.UK PDF, so every entry can be checked against the original. Sole traders and partnerships are counted, never named.
Is this your company? Each row has a link to add a statement or tell us about an error; reviewed statements are published beside the record. Is this your company? Report an error or add a statement.
