V.Rossi   10 #3 Posted March 17, 2011 You've got to be kidding, since they bought a whole new fleet of brand spanking new fiestas for parking services they have a lot to rake back in, espescially as there's more of these scrotes than police officers patrolling the streets of sheffield.

Ravenger   10 #4 Posted March 17, 2011 I used to go into town regularly with my family by bus. Then the fares got too expensive, so I found a reasonably priced council car park at the bottom of The Moor and used to drive in with them instead.  Then the council closed the car park and sold it off for redevelopment, so we found another nearby council car park to park in instead. Then the council sold that off for redevelopment.  We shop at Meadowhall now, and rarely go into town.  I'm sure we're not the only family to have experienced this.  If the council want to encourage people to go into town they need to lower the bus fares and increase affordable - even free - parking.

mike84 Â Â 23 #7 Posted March 17, 2011 The council own very little of the car parks in the city centre, Most car parks are privately owned and are unlikely to offer free parking. Â As an aside to this, you could always park in any of the privately managed car parks, such as the excel car parks for free, just ignore any invoice they send you about parking charges and they will go away!
