iansheff Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Motorists are being hit with higher parking charges by the council, they are raising parking charges by up to 30%. Is this just going to drive more people out of the city and to Meadowhall? New prices will be in force from April 1st and will be 30 percent higher than before, meaning a standard first residential permit will now cost £46.80. Parking will increase from £1 for the first half hour to £1.30 from Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8.30pm, or £2 for up to four hours or on Sundays (up from £1 per day) in central zone one. Parking in central zone two will increase from £1 per hour to £1.30 per hour from 8am to 8.30pm Mondays to Saturdays; £2 from 4,30pm to 8.30pm and £2 for Sunday parking. https://www.thestar.co.uk/our-towns-and-cities/sheffield/parking-charges-increase-in-sheffield-1-9617118?utm_campaign=Sheffield Star - Daily RSS&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=70262651&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--22rRAPtkiheNP7JGRGmJAlLfHMmWBQMlRdt7nsabJtvITvN2Lhdt88ZhULYHgakP2x7TMPBHrZYNA9lolri5tHISNZg&_hsmi=70262651 Edited February 27, 2019 by iansheff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Will anyone really think, 30p, well that's tipped it for me, I'm off to Meadowhall instead. Although how £2 for 4 hrs from £1 all day can be called "up to 30%" I don't know. It sounds more like 400%, assuming "all day" means 8 hrs.

Michael_N Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) And people whinge over bus fares, most of which are less than £2 single into the city from outer terminus or £4.20 for a daysaver/£14.50 for a weeksaver.

And most people havent had a pay rise since 2013. They'll be telling us Council Tax is rising again soon...🙉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I recently had the pleasure of city centre parking in Bradford to get to the theatre - £1 all night after 6pm. The day time prices were pretty much on par with Sheffield but the traffic was a damn sight worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pintor Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 When going to Sheffield theatres or football £9 for up to four hours!, no wonder people are put off. Why cant they have a system so that you get a discount parking ticket when visiting a theatte or going to a concert, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm sure you can - but i can never find them where i want to be(but thats my choice), i go to the same street when i use the theatres here. I never pay a lot i don't think in Sheffield anyway - unless its the NCP. I found before in some places that anything close to an "evening venue" always has parking up to 8.
