'It's Acceptable To Park On Cycle Lanes, Curbs And Pavements'- Parking Services

[26b-6]

So you want them to go and park up in a private car park, and pay the private company the fee to get out, whilst dispensing tickets? 

Yes just like everyone else has to.  Lots of people have business, shopping and jobs to do in city-centres.  Thankfully most motorists are considerate of others.  It is mostly only Parking Services who obstruct cycle-lanes, pavements and cycle paths.

And people they are out ticketing. 

 

Christ, the hysteria here is unbelievable, you would think they are out murdering puppies. Every Parking Services team in the entire country will operate in the same manner, direct your annoyance to government who allow them to operate like that.

Most motorists comply with restrictions because they don’t want to get a penalty.

 

If you take away the threat of enforcement, things rapidly descend into chaos, as they found out in this town.

 

Whether you like it or not, the only way that enforcement can be carried out effectively, means that the enforcement officers occasionally have to park their vehicle in contravention of a restriction. Every local authority does it that way. I know of none who insist that their staff only park in compliant locations.

 

You’re being plainly ridiculous when you claim that it’s mostly Parking Services who contravene restrictions. Strange how they seem to find thousands of motorists to ticket isn’t it?
 

Have a look at this if you want some examples of poor parking in Sheffield. Strangely enough, I don’t see any Parking Services vehicles on there.

No no no mate. They should be made to park up in nearby private multi storey car parks, maybe 10 floors up, which takes time and by which point people could have driven off, and then the taxpayer gets to pick the bill up for parking services to get their car out of the car park.

The only vehicle in the video dangerously parked on a corner, in a cycle lane, over the curb causing obstructions to pedestrians, mobilty scooter users and other motorists is SCC Parking Services! And you defend this behaviour by the very people who are supposed to be leading by example!

 

The Police do not have to burgle your home in order to catch burglars. The fire brigade do not have to start fires to put out fires. And Parking Wardens do not have to dangerously and obstructively park to deter other motorists from doing the same. Leading by example and moral decency should be a given. And therefore like you say, they’re fit to serve us.

 

Thankfully the majority of motorists are not Parking Wardens, they’re not even measurable as a percentage of all UK motorists.  In less than a 10 second search on YT you can see hundreds of Parking Wardens demonstrating dangerous, corrupt, unruly behaviour. Here are just few >>>

?? Who says it has to be 10 floors up? Even if it was 10 floors up,  I’m sure most Q_parks have lifts, and parking wardens usually have legs. Just like MOST other motorists.

Yes Youtube and Pepipoo have thousands upon thousands of examples. And Parking wardens are not even measurable as a percentage of all motorists.

To claim that Parking Services are the only people who park inappropriately is clearly ridiculous. You don’t add any credibility to your argument by making claims that are very plainly wrong.
 

We all see examples of poor parking on a regular basis. That’s why we need enforcement.
