Army of Traffic Wardens

On a related topic of parking. News today that Medway Council has once again been aggressively instructing its now phalanx of traffic wardens to go fourth and fine residents.

This blog has been chastised in the past for scaremongering on the traffic wardens and Tory surrogates locally have indicated that this blog is peddling a myth that the Conservative Council has increased numbers or set targets.

According to the Medway Messenger, the Medway Conservative have confirmed in their budget that traffic wardens will be expected to rake in an extra £200,000 next year.

According to the paper, local Conservatives believe they have been 'too lenient in the past with appeals and it was costing a significant amount of money.'

The Tory army of wardens will therefore be on the prowl. More CCTV cars, more tickets and more fines.
