Blackbeard Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 As an alternative the city centre could continue its rapid decline. Retailers would continue to leave and set up elsewhere and not pay council tax in Sheffield. We all pick up the tab for maintaining a derelict city centre. Everyone says how bad our shopping and parking is compared to Leeds, do you get free parking there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No User Name Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Everyone says how bad our shopping and parking is compared to Leeds, do you get free parking there? Nope. And havent the council there just closed the massive car park right next to the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eater Sundae Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The grass is always greener in Leeds If you walk around the shops and restaurants at the dock area next to the Armouries, you're more likely to see tumbleweed than you are to see grass. Many units have remained empty since the area was built, and most of those which had tenants are now empty as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alternageek Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The people of Sheffield amaze me. Crying over paying for parking, like youre the only people in the world to do so. Its normal in most city centres to charge. Driving is not a right. There are multiple ways to get you in and out of town, without having to pay for the parking fees. Most people here refuse that option. You want to drive, you need to deal with the cost of driving. Paying parking is one of those things. Where I grew up, you have to wait at least 12 YEARS to obtain a parking permit. Imagine the outcry from some of the people in this thread if that was the case here.

Penistone999 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 And the fuel for the 8 mile return trip to Meadowhall retail park would cost you more than the £1 it costs to park ALL DAY in the city centre on Sundays. But you also dont have the stress and hassle of having to take part in the councils very own version of the wacky Races ,having to navigate your way around the maze of one way streets , bus gates, bus lanes , dead ends , pedestrian zones that await unsuspecting motorists on their arrival in the city centre. Instead just drive to the retail park or Meadowhall , park in a FREE parking space , buy your goods and go home. simple and stress free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
