Traffic wardens are set to go on strike - but the local authority has warned drivers will still have to pay for parking.

Wiltshire Council is facing a walkout in a row over pay cuts and alleged “fire and rehire” tactics just days after the largest rail strike in three decades grips Britain.

Local traffic wardens - who hand out tickets for parking violations - are expected to refuse to work for seven days starting on 30 June.
