A parking warden being struck with wet plaster was one of a growing number of abusive incidents reported by staff at a Canterbury council. Selwyn District Council executive director of development and growth Robert Love said over the past year an increasing number of staff have been exposed to threatening behaviour over the phone or in person and some have been assaulted. In March, the council’s sole parking warden was assaulted while issuing a parking infringement in Rolleston.
