BBC Investigation Uncovers Hundreds of Assaults on Parking Wardens: A Call for Stronger ProtectionA BBC investigation has revealed over two hundred physical assaults on parking wardens in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex since 2020. These frontline workers face punches, verbal threats, and sexual harassment, with staff sharing harrowing stories of violence and abuse. The Institute of Customer Service and Brighton and Hove councils Beyond the Uniform campaign highlight the need for stronger protection, with over one hundred thirty assaults in Sussex and eighty-three in Kent from 2020 to 2024. The Crime and Policing Bill proposes body-worn cameras for retail workers, but campaigners push for broader coverage amid rising violence.
