http://www.trafficwardensneedlove.com/Thanks to traffic wardens, hundreds of lives were saved recently as this extract from The Times Newspaper shows.
Despite being so close to the Haymarket drama, the second Mercedes was not spotted by the police. Traffic wardens noticed it was parked illegally, however, and one hour later a tow truck took it to the NCP headquarters in Park Lane, where it arrived at 3.14am.
Billy McCoid, the NCP duty manager, said: “As usual, we did preliminary checks looking for any children or animals inside the vehicle. We are not trained to look for bombs. We did not notice anything suspicious about the vehicle whatsoever.”
McCoid and his colleagues left the car in an overground parking bay opposite their control room. It remained there, just yards from the five staff working the night shift, until 8am when a new team arrived.
While it is not standard procedure to check cars that have arrived overnight, they decided to do so. When they looked through the window of the Mercedes, staff say they saw “everything”.
One member of staff, who did not want to be named, said: “We were terrified. What we saw will stay with us. We saw everything, exactly what was in there, where it was and the smell.
But if we hadn’t seen it nobody would have known it was there.”
