Police are called as two drivers stage stand-off
FIXTURES and fittings at a failed sandwich-making business are up for sale.
Assets of Aspley-based S&L Catering Ltd are being sold in an online auction following the collapse of the firm and the appointment of liquidators.
Some 380 lots up for grabs include specialist machines for slicing and buttering bread, cutting finished sandwiches and sealing them in packs. Other lots include stainless steel preparation tables, digital scales, belt conveyors, pans, trays, tubs, buckets, trolleys, labelling machines, computer kit and office furniture.
Allan Chapman, director at chartered surveyors Walker Singleton, which is handling the sale, said S&L operated a modern production facility using automated equipment and serving various blue-chip customers.
The auction closes on Friday, February 17. POLICE were called to a stand-off between two car drivers due to an ongoing parking row in Mirfield.
Due to solid lines of parked cars down both sides of Hopton New Road, things came to a head between two stubborn motorists who refused to give way and move their cars.
Officers were called to the scene, near the railway station, shortly before 11am yesterday.
Mirfield Tory councillor Vivien Lees-Hamilton expressed her frustration at the situation, as plans to put down double yellow lines to create “passing places” have been put on hold after three objections.
She said: “It’s still ongoing. It went out to local consultation but sadly three people objected, meaning we now have to wait for it to be discussed at local Cabinet.
“It’s put a spanner in the works.
“I feel those people who objected don’t understand how serious the issue is.
“We can’t put double yellow lines down the length of the road until there is sufficient parking for the station, otherwise the problem will just move elsewhere.”
Problems have been ongoing at Hopton New Road and Back Station Road for months, as commuters unable to park in the railway station use both sides of the road, leaving it wide enough for only one car to go through.
