A former bus driver’s bid to regain his PSV driving licence after a theft conviction has been refused.
Gary Stevenson, 57, of Blackshaw Lane, Royton, was jailed for two years in June 2015 after he took £45,956 from an elderly neighbour by fraudulently cashing cheques, withdrawing cash from his bank account and obtaining a credit card in his name.
In June Mr Stevenson applied to renew his professional licence. Deputy Traffic Commissioner Miles Dorrington refused and said there was no realistic prospect of Mr Stevenson getting his licence back, without any further convictions being recorded, for at least a year.
