Hi everyone
I’m sorry I can’t make the meeting this week regarding car parking around the
ECCO forum area due to a family birthday. I like most of us do worry (and
indeed stress) about the daily challenges each of us faces attempting to park
cars in resident spaces we have paid for.
Earlier this year I decided to contact Sheffield City Council to make a freedom
of information request which was quite enlightening…...
I requested to find out:
1. The Council’s estimate of the number of car parking spaces on the roads of
Rossington Road, Newington Road and Everton Road.
2. The total number of permits issued on the roads of Rossington Road,
Newington Road, Everton Road and numbers 78-92 Brocco Bank.
3. Number of properties issued 3 or more permits.
QUESTION 1:
"In relation to the estimation of the number of car parking spaces, the
Council’s Traffic Regulation Order System states the following lengths of bays:
Rossington Road 137m & 129m
Newington Road 122m & 99m
Everton Road 99m & 174m
TOTAL: 760m
The Council’s transport scheme design team uses an average length of 5.5m when
planning the amount of bays.”
Therefore, 760 Divided by 5.5 (average vehicle length) = 138 spaces based on
the Council’s own calculations.
QUESTION 2:
"In relation to the number of car parking permits issued the Council reports
the following number of resident permits have been issued:
Rossington Road 58
Newington Road 36
Everton Road 60
78 – 92 Brocco Bank 6"
TOTAL: 160 resident permits issued
QUESTION 3:
"No properties can be allocated more than 3 parking permits.
X3 properties on Rossington Road have 3 permits
X1 property of Newington Road has 3 permits
X1 property on Everton Road has 3 permits
No properties (78-92) Brocco Bank have 3 permits"
IN SUMMARY:
Based on the Council’s own figures and on the sample size requested it is clear
the council have over sold and over subscribed on resident parking permits,
granting approximately 22 permits more than there is physically space for!!!
This is without considering the additional impact of the Brocco on the Park
hotel and restaurant which certainly on Rossington Road places additional
pressure on the parking permits. Ordinarily this would be a problem outside of
the parking restriction times, however, I have all too often seen people
attending the hotel/restaurant parking on Rossington Road with blatant
disregard to resident’s parking being in effect. I am supportive towards the
hotel for the positive image it portrays and this is by no means a criticism of
the staff and management of the hotel as this situation is beyond their control.
MY QUESTIONS/OBSERVATIONS:
1. Why is the resident’s parking restriction time limited to up until 6pm when
to attempt to manage the parking situation 24/7 restrictions are needed to
attempt to supply sufficient parking for the resident permits issued?
2. How do the Council plan to take action to more appropriately match the
number of allocated parking bays to the actual capacity?
3. Why do students receive a discount for resident parking permits? Many
students are resident in Sheffield for the bulk of the year and we do not offer
discounts on factors such as road tax, so why should parking be any different?
4. Given there is a clear oversubscription of parking spaces at this time,
would it be sensible for the non-residential parking spaces at the bottom of
Rossington Road and Newington Road to be converted into resident only parking
to attempt to manage the shortage of capacity that has been created by the
Council issuing too many resident permits?
Once again, sorry I am unable to make the meeting and also for the length of
this email but hopefully the information may be of use and also makes
interesting reading for those of us frustrated with struggles to find car
parking spaces at times.
Kind regards
James

Hi all
You may remember that a nearby community group (BGCA) wanted to hold a meeting
concerning Parking Permits on 20th February. It was cancelled because the
councillor concerned couldn't attend.
BGCA have arranged another meeting for Wednesday 27th March at 8.00 pm at the
Well on Ecclesall Road. Cllr Neale Gibson should be there. I've been told that
he is now responsible for parking permits.
ECCO members are invited, but please reply to this email or let me know somehow
if you are fairly sure you want to come. This is important because BGCA needs a
good idea of the numbers.
Also please remember that we are only invited to deal with the specific issue
of parking permits, not to air our grievances about everything else!
Mike
