Forums Forums Local News Parking Charges

Couple of the school crossings i do are in areas you cant park without paying.so they are expecting me to pay twice daily which is approx a third of what they pay me.

That sounds outrageous fish , any mileage in complaining , considering its an essential job you're doing. Cant you park in the school carpark or anything like the teachers and caretakers?

I got done on one for parking in a residents only parking place Rullerton Road Mill Lane but did get the ticket rescinded. For that crossing I don't even know where the school is. Not been on it for few years but would now park in Victoria Hospital as I know its free parking. Otherwise its pay at cherry tree parking.

I'm quite sure there must be a system in place to issue you with a free parking badge. Phone them and ask.
Very strange that once again the parking facilities outside Wallasey Town Hall for council staff, seems to have escaped !
Not only the Town Hall Staff, but those who work in the North and South annex's too. I assume they are still there ? That could bring in a lot of revenue

Must be for Park Primary which is behind VCH.

Thanks for posting - lets hope tons of people sign!

The council are having a meeting at Wallasey town hall on Tuesday evening at 6pm to discuss the proposal it is open to the public,please try and get there to let them know it should't be happening

Thanks for that Lizzie. Did anyone get there ?

lot in the Globe about it this week. Even talking about metering a leafy part of Irby village or double yellow lining it to force people into the mini car park at £4 a day. Will just push people down the side roads unless they are thinking of hundreds of resident only parking signs...no thanks. I would have thought there needed to be some legal justification to start double yellow lining roads and streets that never had them before just to force people into car parks.
Civil disobedience.. torching meters or super glueing the coin slot is a tadge beyond my anarchy but making hoods/ banners that read out of order might be ok. If you see one with a hood on it saying out of order just take a timed dated picture on your phone for evidence in case you later get ticketed.

Irby village seems ridiculous. There simply are NOT enough parking places or anything near for those who use the local shops, dentist, library etc. No doubt, someone sitting in head office, making assessments via their own calculations via the internet .

A bit like the time they wanted to send Aldi distribution vehicles from Neston through the dip at Barnston to the M53.

The person involved was based in Ellesmere port and didn't even know it was a 30mph limit and the dip only had single white lines down the centre of the road, because it is too narrow to have double white lines. He'd obviously never visited the area.

Another set of Trumps !

I certainly wish they would impose a residents only scheme in our road. I live on Thingwall corner in the flats and the amount of people who park here to catch the bus is so frustrating. We have limited parking as it is and have a number of disabled who struggle to find parking on a daily basis. Our on vehicle has a sign in the back window asking people to not park within 8 feet of the rear due to a ramp but no one pays any attention and parks nose to tail. It also causes rows between residents for example I had to park a little further up the road and a note was left on my car stating I should park outside my own flat.
I understand people can park where they like legally but I feel like it's very selfish considering the amount of park and ride schemes available. I feel like following people home sometimes and leaving my vehicle outside their house.

You ought to live in the mad world where I live, I got told not to park outside my house and that I should park illegally, police got involved and suggested the same??? - then two of my tyres were slashed.

Kitty kat...I will have words with my wife who parks there between 8 and 4:30 3 days a week to catch a college bus. Always seems plenty of places to park then so I presume locals gone to work. She usually parks close to Barnston Road away from the flats. I suppose she feels its safer than parking at top of landican lane. Get council to put some disabled parking markings on road.
But do you ever park outside someone elses home.? Got no problem people parking outside mine but do hate it when the leave huge muddy ruts in the grass verge.

Commiserations DD sounds like you got some nice neighbours

Wow DD that's outrageous! Perhaps if there is a next time ask the police to put in writing this special dispensation you would have to park illegally just in case you get a ticket and see what they say.

Fish I appreciate that (although I'm not sure we can blame it all on her .

Sometimes there does look like there are lots of spaces but a lot of us work different shift patterns and rotating patterns etc and when we do all converge home it can be a nightmare. Not to mention the blocking in and damage done to vehicles.

Each block on this road has 3 spaces in a "run in" and we have a disabled bay in ours but it's first come first served and if anyone is in the other 2 spaces you can't get into the bay without going over the grass and kerb which isn't ideal if there is a wheelchair user in.

In addition to the "bus parkers" we also have the "collection" parkers who not only block the road but the pavement too as they park on that whilst waiting for their passengers to get off the buses.

I'm not sure on the college buses but regular buses come through Thingwall road east and there is a huge layby there and I can't quite fathom why people don't park there.

I've really got my moaning head on now haven't I haha.
