However, the The Shepway Vox Team has learned that this is not an isolated development. A second resignation within the Folkestone & Hythe Civil Enforcement team has recently occurred, this time reportedly linked to what internal sources have described as “financial irregularities.” The nature of the irregularities has not been officially confirmed by the Council or NSL, and no further details have been made public at this time.
Both individuals were part of the team employed by NSL Services, which delivers civil parking enforcement under contract to Folkestone & Hythe District Council. NSL, part of Marston Holdings since its acquisition in January 2017, operates under a £3.8 million contract awarded in November 2023, covering services from April 2024 to March 2028, with options to extend to 2031.
