Bring back trained traffic wardens
Well done to the BBC revealing the type of racist people our elected council contract to keep our city traffic flowing (NCP). I was outraged to see them having digs at the ethnic population of Sunderland and totally disgraced to hear them calling disabled people.
I was happy that NCP had suspended five of them pending investigation, but the proof is there in front of your eyes. We all saw them and heard them.
If the council has any backbone at all instead of trying to save a few quid, they should pull the plug on NCP. Give the contract to someone else. Better still give us our traffic wardens back. They understood the law and parking law! I had more respect for a police-run traffic warden than I have for jumped up racists in a uniform. It makes my blood boil to see my council tax getting wasted.
Nice one Sunderland (not).
Thank god I'm retiring next year and emigrating to a country that respects you for who you are, not what ethnic group you are.

Make 'em apologise
I am furious at the image these idiots have created of Sunderland.
Even more furious about the comments made by one individual concerning the "spakka".
As the grandmother of a spastic teenager who suffers from cerebral palsy I can say that she may not be able to write her own name but has a much more exrensive vocabulary than any of these cowards who hide behind a uniform. She also is better mannered and to my mind has more brains in one of her deformed fingers than those parking attendants.
It would seem that the only qualifications for this post are to be virtually brain dead and foul mouthed. They should be made to issue a full apology for all their abusive comments.

It's disgusting
I think it's disgusting and totally unacceptable when anyone ridicules or makes fun of disabled people. When such comments are made by supposedly responsible persons as parking attendants that makes it worse. Any guilty NCP staff should be named and shamed. They should also be made to publicly apologise.

Opressive to trade
The parking regime in Sunderland since NCP took over is turning the town into a ghost town. I feel sorry for traders.
The council has a shortsighted view of making money out of motorists. People will go where parking is easier and with sympathetic parking attendants.
The racial harrassment and treatment of disabled motorists just makes matters worse. NCP and the council should be ashamed.
