No movement or starting up of authorised vehicles after 4pm on Saturdays and no movement of authorised vehicles or trailers on Sundays. These conditions will not apply in any case of emergency, but any movement or starting up of any vehicle or trailer outside the authorised hours must be reported to the LA within 72 hours, with an explanation of the circumstances.
• Maintenance and repairs may only be carried out within the times specified for movements.
• No equipment for the maintenance, servicing, fuelling or loading of the authorised vehicles or trailers may be used outside the times within which the authorised vehicles or trailers may be made.
• No vehicles or trailers may be reversed into or out of the entrance to the operating centre.
The company had until April 1 to make representations to the LA on the effect of his proposed conditions.
