In Glasgow the Parking Attendants are used to man the school crossing patrols BUT this has led to a drop or decline of £704,000 in parking fines.A source said this was because parking wardens were spending their time on school crossing patrols.
No matter how many times councils chant the mantra that parking enforcement has nothing to do with raising revenue but keeping the streets clear and traffic moving the harsh reality is that it has everything to do with revenue generation as the story here highlights.
Using Parking Attendants for such duties takes them out of the enforcement loop and their productivity drops.
And they wonder why motorists are becoming such cynics.
