ads36 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) i've heard worse... personally, i like the fitzwilliam street car park, but don't tell everyone - i can usually find a spot quickly. either that, or the non-SCC car park on Matilda Street. but... i confess i do like a pint, so getting the bus is increasingly attractive.

We were talking about delivery drivers though. I doubt they'll be delivering by bus... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some deliveries and collections might take a bit longer. But, the city centre is a better, safer, quieter place to visit, live in, shop in, get around on foot or by cycle or public transport. Many might think that this is a worthwhile trade-off. a small minority maybe tree hugging greens , lefties and generally people with nothing better to do, some of us have to work and have a life.

ECCOnoob Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 1 hour ago, mike1961 said: I have an electric car which I recently drove into the city centre one evening to go to a concert at the city hall, couldn't find anywhere to park ,lots and lots of disabled bays where empty but of course can't use those so ended up parking in Q park multi storey and paying £16.00 for about 3 hours parking so I disagree parking in the city centre isn't plentiful or cheap either Which q park was that? Surely that must have been including additional cost for vehicle charging or something because their rack rates are nowhere near that for 3 hours. Sorry the numbers aren't making sense. As for not being able to find somewhere to park, the City Hall is surrounded by options. There are all the council run surface car parks on Carver Lane, Eldon Street, Fitzwilliam Street and Rockingham Street. There are on street parking bays on Tripett Lane, Carver Street and Division Street. There is the NCP at Wellington Street or Furnival Gate. There are the APOCA car parks on Eyre Street or Atkinsons. Then there's the Q parks at Charles Street or Rockingham Street. Hardly a lack of options and surely you cannot have been so naive to think that you were going to be able to drive into the middle of a big city and park on the street conveniently outside the door of the venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is any on street parking in the city centre or council car parks. Info is on the councils parking page here I park in the Wellington St area to visit the cinema on the Moor 6 minutes ago, ab6262 said: a small minority maybe tree hugging greens , lefties and generally people with nothing better to do, some of us have to work and have a life. I think you might be underestimating the value that a lot of people put on quality of life. Environmental considerations are much more to the fore in people’s thinking nowadays.

I doubt they'll be delivering by bus... it's fundamental to the issue at hand. some people are complaining that bus gates will make deliveries harder. which may or may not be true, but the goal is to improve the bus service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
