The report was my source for the Wellington Parking wardens not being rehired after their jobs were upgraded to a living wage job. The jobs were taken in house as a legal subterfuge to get around the inability to pay them the living wage when they are employed by Parkwise, a council contractor. The Local Government Act requires value for money to be secured if you pay more for a service.
