Who is a Dorset Council key worker? There are too many job titles to list, but the general rule is if you see someone carrying out a frontline task it’s because it is essential.
Our parking attendants play a vital role in keeping traffic moving – which is more important than ever as we continue to enable key workers, emergency services and essential goods to travel freely through our roads.
This is becoming increasingly challenging as we do our part and stay at home and cars compete for parking spaces on residential roads – some of which will have restrictions in place which should still be observed.
We also need to monitor that essential dedicated parking bays for disabled drivers, ambulances, police vehicles and loading/unloading are not abused by inconsiderate drivers, and that taxi ranks and bus stops are not blocked.
Our attendants also spend a lot of time helping the public with local information, directions and advice about other council services.
They are acting under guidelines from The Government and Public Health England. You can challenge a parking ticket online.
Please be more mindful of how you talk to our workers. Thank you.
