Parking on Industry Street, Walkley.

[kittenta]

hey, the customers moan too, there is nowhere for them to park their cars when going to the garage I often have that problem but i don't wheelspin up and down the road, but then i don't work for him either. It is a nightmare up that end anyway, everyone parks on double yellows, double parks etc etc etc.

everyone parks on double yellows

 

Now that is something the council can do something about. Bet they don't though:rolleyes:

Do the council ever do anything useful on back streets, now if it was a main road with shops then maybe

I know what you mean, though if enough people complain, they (the council) will be forced to take action (especially when they have durisdiction - taking photos of the offending vehicles parked on the double yellows would help).

 

Maybe....

 

 

If they can spare a couple of wardens from Broomhill:rolleyes:.

I bought a house on the top end of Industry street a few years back now. When we went to view the house we already lived in Walkley so we walked to all the appointments. Wasn't till we moved in we found we couldn't park our car on our own street! I don't feel I have a divine right to park where I like, but most days there were five or six cars belonging to the business parked outside my house. Amazing how that street seems to have a much higher incidence of dented and scratched cars than surrounding streets too!

 

Anyhow. I don't live there now, but I went up again the other week to feed a mate's cats. I now have a small baby in tow so parking nearer where I want to be is a little more pressing than it used to be. Turned down the street and hurrah, a car is just coming out of the only space on the street! So they turn round at the bottom bit, and I pull over to the side where the new houses are on the left to let them come past. Which is when I notice that it's an Andrew Flower mechanic and he's waiting for his mate who sails straight past me knowing full well I'm there and into the space. Leaving me and baby high and dry. Yes, nobody died and it's not the end of the world but to be honest, if I still lived there I would struggle to put up with the daily battles!

 

So you have my sympathies ex-neighbours Honey and Hector!

AFAIK it's illegal to work on a car in the street except in an emergency, so if a garage is doing routine work on the roadside he could be prosecuted by the police.

 

Parking a car accross a driveway is obstruction and the police will have it shifted if you complain to them.

 

Does anyone remember all those years ago when that Thatcher woman was invited to the Cutlers' Feast? The police were complaining about funding so one brave copper went round the streets of Walkley at 1 am issuing parking tickets on all the vehicles that were parked on the wrong side of the road.

Well the problems are still as evident as allways, I have had to call 101 to have cars removed from over my drive 4 times in the last two month's. Luckily for me when I explain to the person at the other end of the phone the nature of my O/H job they act pretty swiftly.

Shame andrew flowers does not, at least 3 of the cars belonged to him and to be honest his attitude was ' not my problem where customers park my cars'

If you are reading this flower we will not give up.. I hope you are sweating you nasty ill mannerd little man. And if my son picks up any of the vile swearing your mechanics keep bellowing down the road I will be washing your mouths out with soap and water :rant:

Report them for a breach of the peace (using foul and abusive language, or whatever it is)

It's in the hands of the locall councillors at the moment, It's been a breath of fresh air dealing with Dianne leek who has been very helpfull,

I got up this morning to a car blocking the drive, O/H had to get out to work at 8 this morning. When the bloke came to move it at 9:30 he seemed to think you could fit a bus through the tiny gap he had left. Shame he did not take into consideration the amount of swing you need to clear the cars at either side with it being a double paked narrow road.if you have a car with a large steering lock you have had it.

Grr It's so frustrating can not wait to move house

As a temporary deterrent could you not put a cone in front of your drive?

 

And if they are ignorant enough to move it, get a £2.50 window alarm from Maplin (vibration activated) and fasten it inside the cone. At least they'll get a shock when they go to move it and the 120db siren goes off, and chances are that if you were in you'd hear it and could go out and tell them to push off.
