The terrain is gently rolling, with outcroppings of the Cotswold Hills in the south. charity to court over alleged non-payments which it claims could cost jobs. A-Line Coaches has been working for the Benn Partnership Centre, in Railway Terrace, Rugby, on and off for three years providing buses for family trips. The firm, which has 30 staff and runs 25 buses from its depot in Brandon Road, Binley, claims the organisation owes it pounds 1,600 for six jobs that stretch back to the end of last year. The Benn Centre's manager, Gita Natarajan, denied the claims yesterday, saying it paid the money in August, through a series of BACS BACS Bankers Automated Clearing System BACS Banks Automated Clearing System BACS British Association for Canadian Studies BACS British Association for Chemical Specialities BACS Bachelor of Arts Community Studies BACS Bachelor of Administrative and Commercial Studies (Bankers Automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. Clearing Services) transactions. A-Line's manager, James Swords, believes that confusion has arisen because he claims the centre has been paying cash into the wrong account. Mr Swords added: "Our company is struggling. "It's not just fuel prices, people just aren't going out as much as they were. The worse-case scenario would be job losses." As a result of the apparent mix-up, A-Line says it served papers on the Benn Centre on Thursday and will fight them at the county court for the money. |
