Penistone999 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 of course, if people parked in the appropriate places rather than just where the fancy took them then the council would make no money at all and all the parking wardens would be made redundant. Of course the council would never implement as many parking restrictions as possible to maximize their earning potential would they. ? The council target motorists because there as so many of us on the roads. They need income and go for the biggest group possible , ie , motorists . Paint a few yellow lines, put up loads of misleading signs , confuse motorists as much as possible and hey presto , easy picking for their army of Meter Maids. ---------- Post added 23-03-2014 at 16:48 ---------- Wait until the Tour de France comes to Town they will be wearing there pencils out at treble rate and on treble time.

alchemist Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 According to the captions on the link to the photos of Sheffield Parking Services vehicles parked outside their depot on single yellow lines, the photos were taken at 5pm on a Sunday. Single yellow lines at that location only operate Monday to Saturday. It is perfectly legal to park on them at any time on Sundays. The vehicles are therefore legally parked and there is no issue. And yet it is illegal to lark on them in town on sundays, isnt it fortunate that parking services have such a useful setting on the one outside of their own offices?

No of course not!!! After all we ALL remember the serious traffic problem the city centre used to suffer on sundays before the council so graciously brought in sunday parking charges dont we?? ---------- Post added 23-03-2014 at 16:56 ---------- Are you suggesting the council make up the rules to suit themselves. ?

I am sure that planner will pop along with a suitable excuse as to why this particular yellow line is exempt to the same rules set on the ones in town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city centre controlled parking zone ends at Broad Lane, which is a fairly natural boundary. Parking Services are outside the controlled zone. The CPZ was there long before Parking Services moved to that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to believe the same, but it is nothing to do with safety, traffic flow or parking incorrectly. It is a nasty racketeer where illegally issued tickets are the norm. They know every scam in the book.

I assume they're all 'mistakes' ? You will have a long wait. Why should I "address" any of those issues, none of which relate to Sheffield and why would you expect me to? But then starts again in Netherthorpe, how odd The city centre controlled zone has evolved over the years and will continue to evolve. There are lots of other controlled zones around the periphery of the city centre and there was an eventual aim to complete a "doughnut" of them to encircle the city centre. The "doughnut is not yet complete and doesn't look likely to be at least for quite a few years. The fact that area is not within a controlled zone is nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Parking Services happen to be based there at the moment. They also have another depot which is within the city centre controlled zone. In any case, they are looking to leave Garden St within the next couple of years as the lease is expiring. They would like to be based within the city centre as much of their work is there. Whether or not their base is within the controlled zone is of no great concern, so long as they have suitable premises and parking for their vehicles. ---------- Post added 24-03-2014 at 10:02 ---------- HMM, as I said VERY conveniant And very convenient for every other resident and business in the city which isn't in a controlled zone. Parking Services are located in an area just outside the city centre, which isn't in a controlled zone. What is the big deal? Do you seriously think that the Council have left that area out of a Controlled Zone so that Parking Services can have some sort of advantage? They have off street parking for their vehicles. It makes not one jot of difference to them whether they are inside or outside the CPZ. They would actually prefer to be more central, but those were the most convenient premises they could find when they needed to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very convenient to park your vehicles on Keep Clears and Single Yellows during its hours of operation. So its just pure coincidence the CPZ starts again just round the corner?
