People to go up to Burngreave with armed police to enforce people parking on yellow lines? 🤣 Your fantasies are rather weird. Burngreave rd does not have a parking problem at all, at the single yellow lines there people leave right on regulated times. I have seen three unarmed police cars on burngreave rd yesterday and zero cars parked there who you are going to shoot at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thats a rather different version of events to the opening post. One of you is lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think they meant spital hill gower area. But have a look at the bustimes live bus movements map and they get through there fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems the OP was highlighting appear to be mainly involving taxi drivers visiting cafes. The taxi drivers generally know exactly how far they can push their luck. If a CEO turns up to enforce, as soon as they are spotted, someone will be on the phone to their mates and they all run out and drive off and often come back as soon as the CEO clears off. Some people also don’t understand the enforcement process and think that CEO’s can instantly issue a ticket as soon as they observe a vehicle in contravention of a restriction. That isn’t the case for most contraventions. By law they have to carry out observation periods or allow “periods of grace”. This often allows the driver to see the CEO and drive off before a ticket is issued. There are limited numbers of CEO’s and they have many places to visit. The council can’t just have a CEO permanently stationed at these locations to deter the determined drivers. It’s not practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if a CEO was permanently stationed there, no one would park there and there would be no revenue. So it would immediately cease to be self-funding.

Not seen someone follow a completely subjective opinion with "fact" for a while on here. I thought people stopped doing that after getting routinely ridiculed, but good to see you are trying to keep the tradition alive!! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very unwise to ignore penalties issued by a council. They can and will take you to court and it ends up with bailiffs enforcing the penalty plus their (very high) costs.
