The post you are reporting:
As a former Parking Attendant (PA), I feel that I have more experiance than most (if not all) on this forum.
At no time were we instructed to hit targets, infact we were told to keep the roads in Town moving. I was the first PA to patrol Dover Town Centre and not issue a ticket all shift.
Bern, you state your blue badge was out of date (one day, one year whats the differance? It was out of date.) and the PA dosn't know if you are dissabled or not. You didn't state if you were in a pay & display (P&D) area or on double yellow lines (DYL). If you were in a P&D did you buy a ticket?
Martin P, each Council is different, I will repeat, at no point were PA's given targets whilst I was there. If you contact the manager at DDC and ask to do a shift with the enforcement officers, I'm sure that your attitude will chance towards these people.
These men and women are trying to do a job, to earn enough money to support their families. Try talking to them, ask them the questions youve possed here, after all these people are human.
