TRAFFIC WARDENS are to be encouraged to take a more reasonable approach to drivers trying to make deliveries with the launch of a training video which will shown to drivers and wardens.
Westminster and Camden Councils and National Car Parks have teamed up with a number of parcels and brewery firms to make the £40,000 video, which is designed to de-mystify the parking regulations.
It offers drivers advice on how to avoid getting parking tickets but also highlights the problems that wardens face when they arc trying to do their job and keep traffic flowing.
Wardens will be shown the problems that operators face in a bid to promote a better understanding and ensure that the existing CV parking regs are enforced correctly.
Mike Bracey is chairman of the Brewery Logistics Group (BLG), which includes Young's Brewery, Exel's Trade team division, Guinness and Carlsberg UK. He reports that BLG members are paying £500,0130 in parking fines and hopes the video will encourage wardens to be more understanding towards truckers making deliveries:"Hopefully the video will help both parties see the problems that each other faces and the number of parking tickets handed out to truck drivers will fall."
