You're right, I lied.

Any idea what the parking situation is like near here...and around the roads around?

Is there any at all?
Permit only?
Pay/display?
Limited time?

You get the idea!

you should be ok depends what time of day or week day or week end generally you should find parking easy without charge

You're right next to the Hallam Uni Collegiate campus so the answer is:

it's permit only unless you're very very very lucky, but starting in Hillsborough there are plenty of buses that go straight from Hillsborough bus station up Ecclesall Road (they used to be all the ones that started with an 8, but they've changed all the numbers now, haven't they?).

My girlfriend lives on Harefield Road which is the next one along, and I can confirm that the parking is pay and display around there (mon-sat 8-6:30)

Its 20p per hour, with a max stay of 4 hours on parts of Stalker Lees and 2 hours on the other roads, usually spaces available.

Hope that helps!

for tomorrow morning, into the afternoon. so if limited to 2 hours around there that difficult.

like to take car so I can leave stuff in car while out and about... guess I might have to take tram and leave some stuff at home :(

Thanks all for quick responses :)

Parking is free on the roads around hunters bar, Hunter House Road, Guest Road etc, if you don't mind a 10 minute walk to where you are going. Unfortunately finding a space can mean driving around for a bit but you usually come across one eventually.

Don't even think about parking on Hunter House Road! As a resident on this street i find it highly annoying that you are advertising our road as a car park. Think of the residents who already find it hard to park anywhere near their own homes, many who are elderly and others who have young children, and i'm sure that the people on the other road you have suggested will feel the same way. Please think about how your actions will affect others around you and their daily lives. I suggest that you find somewhere else to park there are plenty of car parks in town or the buses in sheffield are very good for going into town. There is also parking on Ecclesall road for a small fee.

Goes with the territory when you opt out of the permit parking scheme. Can't have your cake and eat it!

Unfortunately whilst there is no permit parking scheme or other restrictions on parking in your street, everyone who pays their road fund licence and who insures and maintains their vehicle is allowed to park it wherever they choose, irrelevant of whether that inconveniences the residents of the street.

I didn't opt out of the scheme!!!!! Myself and many others wanted the scheme as we were already having problems with the parking. As a result of hunter house road not being included in the scheme a petition has been put together and signed by the majority of the road!

I am aware of this but i feel that advertising our road as a car park is unfair and wished to say something about the situation of many of the residents of the street.

Tough. It isn't, regardless of your feelings. The road is open to anyone and everyone.

So you don't have a guilty conscience about our elderly neighbours whose home helps and meals on wheels cannot park everyday or the disabled residents who need to be picked up by transport or the fact that the emergency services cannot get up or down the road, or the danger to local children???

If the cars are causing an obstruction, they're parked illegally. Go report them.

Beyond that, no, and nor should I. The road is a public thoroughfare, and anyone and everyone has the right to park there, resident or not. If you don't like that, push the council into extending the permit scheme.

Don't worry we are and the petition that we have have will help nicely thank you very much. At least we know what kind of people are opposing the scheme!
Where will you park then????

The main people who were opposing the scheme were the residents themselves. I lost count of the number of posts I saw on this Forum saying there were no parking problems on those roads. Each and every household had a vote and the majority didn't want the scheme, so they didn't get it.

Have things changed that much since the scheme was implemeted?

Weren't you one of those who opposed the permit scheme?

Have parking problems worsened since it came in?

bully for you but I think you'll find other roads didnt want it and that's why we opted out. We dont have a significant problem

Weren't you one of those who opposed the permit scheme?

certainly was and still am -we dont have a problem with parking. There are the idiots who dont know how to park a car properly but you'll always get them - and the selfish so-and-so's who hog the junction of Stretton Rd/Psalter lane when dropping their youngsters off for dance class and who should know better because they are blocking a right of way, but otherwise, no major issues. No one in their right mind would want to drive up our road unless they were confident reversing back down it.

Well i Glad you don't but for me and the people who have signed the petition over 200 people seem to think that there is a problem!

So long as it doesnt include our road. The scheme offers no benefits whatsoever to us-if it is policed at all it's during the daytime when we're not there. The time when it would be of any use, after 6pm and before 8am, no one's out there ticketing the prats who park on junctions and on the pavement at the top of Pinner Road anyway. Perhaps if the proceeds went towards putting the road surface back in good order, I'd think differently, but I'm not prepared to pay an additional tax so that people who live near the shops can get a parking space.

It clearly offers benifits! I have spoken to people who are opposed to the scheme, and the only reasons they could come up with for opposing it was 'oh we have more that one car' 'or i'm not willing to pay' I will patrol this street if it means we can get the scheme here. i am fed up of not being able to park outside my own home be it during the day or night. And no amount of bullying will change my mind!

Who'se bullying? I'm not bullying, I'm stating my point of view. We don't have a problem parking. We've got one (very small) car that generally gets a space on our own road- probably not always outside our own home but then no one has a right to park outside their own home, unless they own the road.

The only times we have trouble parking are when idiots who don't know how to park properly take up a space and three quarters when they've come home late and then they leave their vehicles sticking out in the already narrow road. No one's going to resolve that issue because those pilllocks have usually moved by the time parking plod begin their morning patrol.

We would get no benefit from an imposed parking scheme. None whatsoever. We would merely be contributing towards the cost of a traffic warden to patrol the other busier streets and have the added inconvenience of having to buy and administer the visitor parking scheme whenever anyone deemed to visit us, if even for 5 minutes just to drop something off or pick something up (I freecycle). Our street is usually dead in the daytime.

So you don't have a guilty conscience about our elderly neighbours whose home helps and meals on wheels cannot park everyday or the disabled residents who need to be picked up by transport or the fact that the emergency services cannot get up or down the road, or the danger to local children???

No because the whole situation has been engineered by your wonderful council; it's them you should be moaning at.

I would definitelty reccomend that area too, while you are there you can go to the bank, spar, have lunch, buy clothes, pick kids up from school, have your haircut and even more! You pay £120 a year road tax so leave your car wherever you legally please!

I am assuming that brunt1907 should you ever go anywhere in your car you are careful not to park outside other peoples homes or somewhere the locals might prefer you not? I am from Hathersage and next time you are there (if you go) could you park in Grindleford and walk to Hathersage as I like to park where i like in MY village.

lol

No I didn't miss it, and I didn't ignore it. The only reason these people are having problems now is because the council decided to introduce a residents' parking scheme in the first place. You can now see that they are just itching to extend it and people like brunt1907 are playing straight into their hands by getting up a petition to do just that. You watch, their road will be included quicker than you can say knife and then planner1 will smugly say that the residents asked for it. The ones who still don't want it, like katkin, will be ignored.

And worth remembering if you are considering petitioning to be included in the scheme now... You will lose a lot of existing parking because they will mark every junction and several metres before that junction as 'no parking' - that's BOTH sides of the road so for Hunters House we're talking the bottom and top and the junctions with Pinner and Roach. A lot of residents will be disappointed with that, I reckon.

Tough. It isn't, regardless of your feelings. The road is open to anyone and everyone.

Well said it seems we have found a you cant park outside my house muppet.

Bet he even leaves notes on the cars telling them to move them and not park there.

We had one of these on meersbrook road so when my wiper blades came off the car due to all the notes i called the police and they gave him the choice of stopping the notes and buying me some new wiper blades or they were going to arrest him.

Who'se bullying? I'm not bullying, I'm stating my point of view. We don't have a problem parking.

Bloody hope so if I came home to find 2 cars on my drive id be more than miffed LOL

Neither road tax nor owning or renting a property give you any right to the piece of road outside. You've no more right to park on the road outside your house than someone from Cardiff has.

i am fed up of not being able to park outside my own home be it during the day or night.


Buy a house with off road parking then.
You chose to live there I take it?
I used to live near to there, but quite frankly, I expected parking problems.
Incidentally, I still don't have offroad parking, and still sometimes cannot park outside my house. I tend to not whinge and bitch about it though.

You're missing the point. This area was originally within the Sharrowvale scheme proposal, but was left out of the fianl scheme when residents said they wanted to opt out.

It's heartwarming to know that we live in a city where it's residents have such consideration for each other. What happened to a community spirit and empathy with your neighbours????

I think that this thread illustrates what an emotive issue parking has become. As car ownership continues to grow, it isn't going to improve.

I completely agree. Live and let live. Let people park where they want and don't become a bitter whinger.

I'm sorry but why should I have to pay for something that YOU benefit from and I don't ,not even in the slightest.

I'm very happy with things the way they are - been a resident here for almost 20 years, love the area and don't have problems with parking our one and only compact car. If the scheme could make sure people parked sensibly AFTER 6:30pm at night or was operated on a 24/7 basis, then I might be persuaded to change my view, but the scheme in its current form does not offer any benefits to our household and we subsidise enough other local services as it is without being compelled to fund other resident's ability to park.
