Parking fees will rise by 10p per hour at Endcliffe Park, Graves Park and Hillsborough park in coming days, it has been confirmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision was made at a meeting of the city council’s Charity Trustee Sub-Committee on 12th April 2024 and will come into effect on 29th April 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will bring parking charges at these sites into line with other city car parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jo Pearce, Service Manager, Business and Partnerships said: “The proposal was to increase the charges from 90p to \u00a31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The charges were to do this from around the 29th April, given the sufficient notice period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There’s no proposal to change the hours of operation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision was made in order to help better manage parking demand, while contributing to wider traffic management and environmental objectives, council officers said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Waste and Street Scene Policy Committee have been able to approve the parking fees in non-charitable parks sites by 10p per hour, this would lead to price differences for parking within Sheffield parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An alternative suggestion to keep the current rate at these car parks – which are charitable car parks – was rejected. This would have seen it having different prices for parking to other city parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increasing the parking charges on charitable park sites in line with non charitable sites will in turn provide a higher level of income to those charitable parks, council officers argued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This income provides some income certainty for the Endcliffe Park Charity, the Graves Park Charity and the Hillsborough Park Charity and considers the best interests of each of the parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isabella Wright, 19, a student at the University of Sheffield said: “As a student it’s quite annoying that the parking charge has risen, it’s kind of hindered me from parking at these places, especially Endcliffe Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“On a day to day basis, I normally walk to my lectures anyways so it doesn’t really affect me too badly because I have way around it, thankfully.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The parking fees for pay-and-display in the City Centre car parks are \u00a31.45 per hour in Zone 1 areas from Monday to Sunday -4:30pm to 8:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sundays the parking fees are \u00a31 per hour in Zone 2 areas from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
