The acting traffic commissioner for the West Midlands Traffic Area, Miles Dorrington, has been appointed as the permanent replacement for predecessor Nick Denton. The senior TC Richard Turfitt said of his appointment: “I am delighted that Miles has been appointed as a permanent member to the traffic commissioner team. He brings with him significant experience of this jurisdiction from many years as a deputy TC and as a tribunal judge in other jurisdictions.”

In addition, the transport secretary Mark Harper also appointed two new deputy TCs to support the work of the TCs. Catherine Moxon will be deployed as deputy TC in the north of England and Dr Paul Stookes has been appointed deputy TC in the South-east Traffic Area.
