Advertising your application

If you바카라 사이트™re applying for a goods vehicle operator licence for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), you need to pay to advertise your application in a local newspaper in the traffic area that your organisation operates in.

You do not need to advertise if you are applying for a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) or light goods vehicle operator licence.

If you do not advertise your application correctly, your application will be rejected. You바카라 사이트™ll need to pay for a new advert if you apply again.

You must write your advert using the template.

The newspaper you바카라 사이트™re advertising in must:

  • be local (not regional or national)
  • cover the traffic area where the operating centre is based
  • include stories as well as adverts - free sheets will not be accepted
  • include other public notices, for example planning applications

Your advert must appear between 21 days before to 21 days after you바카라 사이트™ve made your application, to give people the chance to comment. For example, if the application is received on 1 June, the advertisement must appear in a newspaper on a day between 11 May and 22 June.

If you바카라 사이트™re applying for more than one operating centre

You need to publish separate adverts if the local areas of the operating centres are covered by different local newspapers. 

If they바카라 사이트™re in an area covered by the same local newspaper, you only need to publish one advert that includes:

  • each operating centre바카라 사이트™s address
  • the number of vehicles and trailers you바카라 사이트™ll be keeping at them

Sending evidence of your advert 

Once your advert has been published, you바카라 사이트™ll need to upload an image of the whole newspaper page. Do this when you apply for your licence.

The image of the advert needs to include:

  • the newspaper바카라 사이트™s full name
  • the publication date
