Can anyone confirm where I collect an application form to claim free parking in the Council Car Parks in Sheffield City Centre because my car runs on gas?

Someone said it may be Howden House. Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Iwould be interested in this too as my vehicle uses LPG.
I havent heard anything about this scheme ?

My brother in law told me about it tonight. Its definitely right as he has a friend who does it but he wasn't certain on which department of the Council the application form comes from, though he thought it may be Howden House.

I didn't know about the scheme either but apparantly the council want to encourage the use of vehicles using LPG, hence the incentive!

Post the details when you find them im up for that.

po box 3830 postal applications only

This (http://www.goingreen.co.uk/store/content/gwiz_faq) might be what your looking for :)

that only covers london

Sorry, I thought the free parking bit covered everywhere.

Thanks for this - I just looked at it.

There's a number for Sheffield. Scroll further down the page guys, the first number is dead but the second one has an ansaphone facility.

po box 3830 sheffield is your first point to contact for the application form this is the only way it works it is postal applications only a bit long winded but thats the way they are doing it.be prepared get a photocopy of form V5 ready to send with your application form and it must be in the name of the person making the application it costs £10 FOR the year and only covers the car on the form it is not transferable so if you have two or more cars you need a application form for each vehicle

Thanks never wrong

po box 3830 - is that the address, just that? Is there a telephone number for this place?

does that cover duel-fuel vehicles, as my van is petrol/lpg. only starts on petrol, then runs on lpg

Open to anyone, with eligible vehicle, irrespective of home address.

Allows free parking, subject to existing maximum time limit, for the location where the vehicle is parked. This applies to any City Council Off St car park or On St pay and display bays, within the Central Parking Zone.

Subject to a scheme joining fee of £10 and an annual fee of £10 to cover the cost of the permit, the clock and administration. A £10 fee applies if a permit or clock is lost or for a change of vehicle.

No refunds are available on permits, which may be relinquished, for any reason, during their period of validity.

Permits will not be issued for any period less than 12 months.

Members will be issued with a permit showing the vehicle registration number and a cardboard clock.

When parking both the permit and the clock, set to the arrival time, will need to be clearly displayed in the vehicle windscreen. Failure to comply with the conditions of the scheme may result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice.

A copy of the vehicle registration document or conversion certificate must be provided to qualify, together with a cheque for the required payment, made payable to Sheffield City Council, and forwarded to:

Why is LPG considered a green fuel? I know it is cheaper, but isn't it just another fossil fuel, or am I missing something?

Cleaner burning with less pollution.

If it has come from Natural Gas, it is using a resource that would otherwise have been flared off.
By using 'natural' LPG you are not using petrol/diesel and thus extending the life of that finite resource.

.... or not?
