Sheffield Council's 1.2 Million Profits from Parking Permits!

[WallBuilder]

Councillors are only interested in furthering their own career`s ,and the only time they have any interest in the public is when its election time and they want your vote . Once they have it they concentrate on trying to climb the greasy pole ,much the same as MP`s do.

 

 

Aren't we Mr. negative, for your information I've attended meetings and so have seen councillors in action so know for certain you're talking rubbish.

A couple of other questions apart from the wondering about pet projects are how many permits is a single family house allowed to have and how does it work with a multiple occupancy house.

There's no limit on the number of permits you can apply for at one address. You have to prove you live there and the vehicle is registered to you.

 

Second and subsequent permits cost double the first permit price.

 

Issue of permits is at the Council's discretion, so if someone asks for a large number of them, they could potentially be refused.

Not true.

 

They do extensive surveys to establish the parking demand and who is parking in the area.

 

They would not put in a scheme where it was residents themselves who were causing the problem.

 

Being rigid about keeping permit allocations low caused what some on here might regard as unnecessary complications in Sharrow Vale and I believe they have learnt from that. They are usually able to satisfy the level of demand for permits.

Myself and plenty of other people I know live in a Sharrow CPZ and have never been asked or consulted about anything.

 

The confusion over permits was done deliberately to steal more money. CPZ's are mostly nothing more than just highway robbery.

I live in a residents parking scheme area and think it has made a massive improvement to parking in and around my street.

I'm 110% sure you did but ignored it. People like you **** and moan after the fact instead of doing something at the time you're given the opportunity.

 

Also you might want to post retracting your accusation that SCC are stealing from residents. There's a libel case right there.

That or they moved in after the zone was set up. I've lived in two zones where the permit system was set up, both times we had letters delivered asking us about it before any decision was made. First time, like many, we just chucked the letters in the bin, second time we wrote back in support of the zone after our previous experience.

Sssh! We'll have no positivism about council "pet-projects" on here.

I'm willing to bet good money that if these CPZ schemes were free, paid for using the taxes of everybody else that everyone objecting here wouldn't be.

 

Ironic considering most of them consider people on benefits for genuine reasons as scroungers.

Well you'd lose your bet, I actively encourage people to claim benefits and work cash in hand if it ain't too risky.

 

I object because the main priority of Parking Services is just to fleece motorists.

Then tell them to sue me and my neighbours! Kevan Butt knows my address.
