There are adequate parking facilities within the Wellington Street depot and maintenance is carried out by BRS from whom the vehicles are hired.
The only parking that occurred elsewhere in the vicinity of the operating centre was when vehicles were loaded in Canal Street.
There are 40 vehicle movements a week at the operating centre along Canal Street with the earliest vehicle leaving about 6.30am and the latest vehicle returning about 7pm.

Any restriction on the times of operation would make it impossible for the company to meet its contractural liabilities.

Managing director Charles Wade said the company had received no direct complaints or any correspondence from any of the residents.
Brock said she could not concern herself with any other operators' vehicles visiting the company's premises or with cars blocking the highway.
