As such they did not have an opportunity to make representations before the decision was made.We enclose copy letter forwarded to Mr Dafydd Humphreys at the office of the Traffic Commissioner Wales on the 7th December 2021 as it was understood permission to appeal was required. The Appellant wishes to appeal the decision to revoke the respective licences on the basis set out in the letter of the 7th December 2021 attached as they wish to voluntarily surrender the licences. Tonna Luxury Coaches has been operating since the 1940's and value their reputation and confirm that they are prepared to voluntarily surrender the licence rather than have the same revoked.The grounds of the appeal are based on the fact that they did not receive the priornotification and were not able to respond to the same. In the circumstances werespectfully request that the appeal is allowed in relation to the decision to revokeOperators Licence PG0005717 and PG1112247.’
