Rejected petition Stop Traffic Wardens & scrap all parking tickets from the start of the Isolation

We are told to isolate & only work if you are an essential worker. Traffic Wardens are NOT essential workers, during this time poeple need more flexible parking to help the NHS, elderly and vulnerable family members. Traffic Wardens are still giving out tickets, even on NHS vehicles.

More details

We ask the government to only allow Emergency Traffic Warden call outs only.

Stop General Traffic Wardens as they are not essential, during this period we should be able to park to help & support elderly, NHS, venerable.

This will also help civilians to not take public transport when helping others.

It is hard for people to trust & respect our government when they have none essential Traffic Wardens out giving parking tickets.

Also scrap tickets already issued since the start of isolation.
