A local man Wayne Taylor who owns Riverview Motorcycle Training has had a run in with one of Southports over zealous Parking Attendants who now also act as Litter Wardens.
Wayne was on the Southport Theatre car park when he was accosted by the Council jobsworth.
Wayne said on his Facebook page...
Please tell me this guy isn’t on Sefton councils payroll!! This is what your paying for guys!
Anybody else know any jobsworths??
Oh and before you ask, yes the police turned up and yes it was found it was a complete waste of police time.

What a total muppet!
We can expect more of this as these parking & littering enforcement officers have very little to do now given hardly anyone comes to Southport currently due to the ridiculous parking charges and 'facist' enforcement officers....
Thankfully the local constabulary took a common sense approach as always.

Please, you are not using my council tax to clean up
someone else's ****.
Who gives you the ability to call the person in question a
a jobsworth after some of the **** you write on here.
He is working , not sponging. The fines should be 3 times
greater than what they are.
Traffic wardens , litter police should all be self financing .
You call this person , do you shout after the BINMAN after he leaves half nextdoors bin on the roads.

No it's because that is what is described in the video.
Are you trying to call me "uneducated" because I can't quite understand that random jumble of words that you've written?

Guy was doing his job.
Reaction should have been, "Sorry I didn't realise I'd dropped them, Sorry about that. Thanks for coming over and saving me a tenner"
His reaction would have been " No problem, Have a nice day"
End of story.
Why do people think they can be abusive and not get a reaction. His being sticking to the rule of the law. Personally think he was very professional considering the verbal abuse he was getting.
Also well done for him asking for the police to attend, As if they haven't anything better to do.

It still doesn't warrant refering to the gentleman as a
jobsworth.
TBH cigs or no cigs isn't really the issue here. It was Wayne Taylor's attitude that made the situation escalate. The litter issue would have gone away if he'd picked them up and said sorry I'd dropped them accidently there are still 18 fags left in the packet.
The warden said as much in the fist part of the video. He needs a pay rise for keeping his cool.

The warden has total support from me and like it's been said
attitude of culprit was not good.
I believe this now should be a case of public put up
and shut .
This guy runs a motor cycle school , definitely give that place amiss.
Funny how there just happened to be someone to video it.
