Traffic warden in Coalisland.

Thirteen towns and villages in the west are to lose traffic wardens.

This is part of a Northern Ireland-wide review looking at deployment.

Areas with less than ten tickets issued on average per month will be removed from the schedule.

They include Aughnacloy, Castlederg, Clogher, Donaghmore and Dromore.

Other areas affected include Fivemiletown, Irvinestown, Kesh, Lisnaskea and Maghera.

 Moy, Newtownstewart and Toome will also lose their parking attendants.

Routine traffic warden patrols have already been withdrawn from Coalisland.

There have been claims however that the move is politically motivated.

An investigation was launched last year after a warden was threatened.
