Isabelle Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The last time I passed on a parking ticket, the recipient was so surprised and pleased! It was nice to make someone's day I don't think he expected it at all, he was very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You pay for two hours use of that car park. It shouldnt matter who is using it, as long as it has been paid. Visitors do it at our hospital all the time. Which hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp27 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Which hospital? Louth hospital, and interestingly parking charges are not set by ULHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricgem2002 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 If I thought the profits from council or hospital car-parks would benefit the hospitals or local schools, I may feel differently. But they don't. They simply make private companies (contracted to run the car parks) richer. They tender to run the car park, they give the hospital a fixed fee and keep the rest. so is this another area where private companies running council services has failed the taxpayer? if this is the case when will the council and other taxpayer funded services get rid of these companies and take them back in house ?

sedith Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I used to hand over my parking receipt to people coming into the car park but now I keep them to prove I've paid after I got accused of not paying a parking fee. Worth a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm happy to pass my ticket on. Also happy to receive one too. Even happier that our local hospital don't charge for parking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 hen I was in the UK, I always passed my ticket on. My way of being nice. Where I live over here, all parking is free. multi story, town center, hospital... everywhere. It makes a huge difference to local businesses as you can never get a parking space as its always so busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our council isn't having any of that progressive forward thinking business friendly nonsense thank you very much. There's a few bob to be made out of their cash cow err fellow Sheffielders and that's what's going to continue to happen. The other thing that impressed me about parking in Oz is the car parks where they have red and green lights on poles at each parking space so you don't have to drive up and down searching. That's not going to happen in Sheffield either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 is it acceptable to give your parking ticket to another person if there is still a few hours left to run and would you accept a ticket from someone ? Yes and yes No brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
