I can't find an exemption to cover the bloke!
check out a Typical T.R.O. Is he covered? The only possible exemption would be "to enable the removal of any obstruction to traffic" and that does not appear to be happening here, he is just issuing tickets.
TYPICAL TRO EXEMPTIONS:

wait in any of the roads, lengths of road or on the sides of road or loading areas

road, to be used in connection with any of the following operations, namely:-

or sides of road; the laying, erection, alteration or repair in or on land
adjacent to the said lengths or sides of road of any sewer or of any
main, pipe or apparatus for the supply of gas, water or electricity or of
any telecommunications system ; and
