An undercover reporter, working for the BBC, alleges that a parking attendant attempted to steal a motorcycle.
BBC journalist, Nkem Ifejika, went undercover to look at the procedures being used by parking wardens in Kensington and Chelsea. He said the “vast majority of parking attendants are honest and hard working and do a vital job”, but the ‘Whilstleblower’ documentary team reported a culture of illegal procedures including parking attendants cancelling tickets for cash in Westminster.
The BBC has put these allegations to the parking firm involved, APCOA, who issued a statement saying "To date, we have not found evidence to support the BBC's allegations. In the absence of such information, we believe that the incidents referred to...are at worst isolated events. “ The overwhelming majority of our PAs and managers are hard-working, diligent and responsible people doing a difficult job very well."
