Parking attendants were threatened by dissident republicans

Parking attendants have yet to return to west Belfast nearly three weeks after they were withdrawn following threats from dissident republicans.

Talks are ongoing between NCP, the Department of Regional Development and the attendant's union, Nipsa.

Nipsa's John Corey said the situation has not changed.

"We do not believe it is right that any chances should be taken with the health and safety of these workers," he said.

NCP, which operates the service for the DRD, was told of the threat by the PSNI.
