Snderland Echo
Monday 09 October 06
Talks were due to be held today over concerns about parking enforcement across Sunderland.
The move follows a BBC TV documentary which showed parking attendants using racist language and making offensive comments.
Phil Barrett, the city council's director of development and regeneration, was due to meet senior executives from NCP, the company which operated parking enforcement in the city.
Five attendants have been suspended from their posts as a result of the programme.
The chairman of the council's environmental and planning review committee, Jim Blackburn, wants a report on the situation to be presented to its meeting next Monday.

There is no doubt that trafic wardens like anyone else should not be racist at any time.
I can't help thinking though about the good traffic wardens. The ones who day in day out try to do the job they are employed to do.
The racism and swearing and physical abuse that these workers go through is equaly outrageous.
There must be some trafic wardens reading all this and wondering, what are we doing to protect themselves.

Why is it that this is only an issue when 'rascism' is involved. Surely defrauding the public on a nationwide scale should be the headline?
