Arnold Higson

Senior Traffic Warden Arnold P. W. Higson is in charge of the Hampton Wick Traffic Warden, to which Brown is his deputy.

In 1978, after employing new traffic warden George Roper, he becomes unimpressed at his over enthusiastic attitude, booking the mayor's car. Due to complaints about his over-zealous attitude, Higson thinks this is the last straw and rows with his George, and George resigns his job as a traffic warden. He is scared to tell his wife Mildred, who finds out from Mr. Higson with whom she flirts to get George his job back.

George does not return to the job, as he has been offered a job with his dodgy friend Jerry, which he also turns down.

Character Traits
Mr Higson cannot stand lateness, although he lets the female employees get away with it, as seen with Elsie Wainwright.
