A Hampshire‑based goods vehicle operator, Hampshire Group Southern Ltd, has had its restricted operator’s licence revoked after the Traffic Commissioner found the company repeatedly failed to engage with the regulator. The decision, made by Commissioner Miles Dorrington following a public inquiry in Bristol on 3 June 2026, also proposes a two‑year disqualification for the company and its sole director, Vicky Steere. The licence, which authorized two vehicles, was originally granted in July 2025 with a condition that a director complete an approved operator licence management course. The Commissioner said the company breached this undertaking and provided no satisfactory explanation. Key regulatory correspondence, including warning letters and a formal Request for Explanation, went unanswered. The licence will be revoked on 2 August 2026, with the disqualification orders taking effect unless a hearing is requested by 13 July 2026.
