Florence wants to crack down on illegal parking attendants (Florence)  After getting tough last
month with windshield washers, city officials here would now like to crack down
on illegal parking attendants.
According to city security councillor Graziano Cioni, the problem of aggressive
parking attendants "is getting worse but unfortunately we do not have
adequate means to deal with them".
He added that the issue was now on the agenda of the next meeting of the
provincial public security committee.
Data from municipal police showed that while 80 fines were issued between 2003
and 2006 against the illegal parking attendants, 111 had been issued in the
first months of this year. "The real problem is that we do not have
efficient means to combat this phenomenon," Municipal Police Chief
Alessandro Bartolini agreed. Florence
used to have only five or six 'historic' parking
attendants, mostly southern Italians, who primarily worked at night and during
special events. 09-13-2007 |
