Some of the new traffic wardens taking the oath of office on Thursday.

Sixty persons were sworn-in by the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) on Thursday to serve as traffic wardens under the city constabulary.

The wardens took their oath of office in the council’s chambers before Town Clerk Royston King and Chief Constable Andrew Foo.

Although employed by the city, the wardens would be paid by Smart City Solutions (SCS), the company contracted to administer the city’s controversial parking meter project. The wardens would be working with SCS as the enforcement arm of the company.
