Can anyone tell me whether it's free parking on Sundays in the city centre - preferably near the station? Thanks

I think it depends on the car park. Most are free on Sundays. You can also park on single yellow lines on a Sunday.

oh i don't know lucy- i have noticed quite a few now are paid parking 7 days a week apart from bank holidays, its only the on-road parking that still free on sundays.

Council pay & display car parks and street meter parking are free on Sundays. Private car parks are still chargeable.

Nearest to the station would probably be Charles Street.

You could try this link (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&postid=264673#post264673)

Many of the City Council car parks do now charge on Sundays as I found to my horror last week (£1.70 for 2 hours!)

There is a very small car park near Charles Street that is still free but its normally full (Arundel Street I think). The link from Strix above lists charging hours as well.

Could you park in Meadowhall and catch the train from there? I do that every day

Thanks for the info everyone... looks like you can't get owt for nowt these days!

We didn't pay last Sunday, we parked just up from the BMW showroom at West Bar, perhaps we should have, but I'm fairly sure it's free on Sunday.

Have you not got legs? Can you not walk?? You wouldn't catch me driving into town.....

lol :D

True though, the blue tram goes from Hillsborough straight to the station and is much easier than driving round the City Centre looking for a free space.

Ol' Petrol Leg's aint biting though......

It's ridiculous. Other cities offer free parking from 6pm on a weekday and free all Sunday. Perhaps this is why they prosper more than Sheffield?

Or you could just use the link I posted above.

Oh Boroughgal - How dare you?!

Anyway, it's not for me, it's for a friend - honest. I wouldn't drive into town as this would (a) stop me drinking; (b) cost me petrol money; and (c) invoke my everpresent road rage/Council rage/pedestrian rage.

I've parked in Paradise Square on a Sunday before without paying...not sure I was supposed to though?

When and why and for how long are you wanting to park near the station? You can park in the super secure, manned CCTV covered multi-storey for 40 mins for free, and after that I'd rather pay to have my car kept safe. Anywhere else is more risky.

I know this is an old thread, but is on street parking in the city centre still free on sundays?

Yes - but not all of the car parks are. Tomorrow might be very busy with the derby on though.
