00:00Where do you think is the worst place in Sheffield for parking?
00:04Hillsborough, I think. It's very bad for parking. Roads are only narrow and when parked on both sides,
00:11which is often most of the roads around Hillsborough now.
00:17Are there particular streets that are worse than others?
00:22Yeah, I would say Dykeshall Road, where buses have to try to get up to.
00:27And all the little ones around the shopping area, it's really bad.
00:34Because you can't get parked to put your car and then go shopping. It's a bit difficult.
00:41What would you say? Would you agree?
00:45Well, it's just a natural thing now.
00:49There's that many vehicles going about.
00:56There's no aromas.
00:57There's no room at all, you know.
00:59I mean, they have mules and a bloke walking in, you know what I mean?
01:06About 200 years since.
01:11It's crazy.
01:13But you have to get over it, don't you?
01:17We've got it to do.
01:18Well, there's that many people.
01:21They don't have one car per house now.
01:23It's two or three, which is...
01:26It's only expected because children want to drive now as soon as they can.
01:31And they've got to have a parking spot.
01:35Definitely the town centre.
01:38Any particular streets or any particular areas within that?
01:40There's not enough car parks or street parking since they've been reduced.
01:48I guess probably some areas around the city centre on weekends.
01:53So some areas are dead during the week.
01:55But weekends, it tends to be a bit of a nightmare.
01:59So particularly the town centre.
02:01City centre, anywhere around there.
02:03Any of the queue parks are too expensive.
02:05The council room ones are too expensive.
02:09They should reduce the price of them or make it easier to park at earlier times.
02:15Especially if you're going to a food like the cinema.
02:18It stops at about half past eight, I think.
02:21So it's cheaper after that.
02:24But it's still incredibly expensive.
02:26And also around the hospitals as well.
02:29I'd probably say in the city centre at the minute.
02:32It's definitely got worse.
02:34You no longer can drive through the city centre.
02:36So it's definitely had problems for local businesses in the city centre.
02:41So that's definitely become a problem.
02:42So the parking is difficult as well?
02:44Yeah, around Surrey Street and more in the city centre.
02:48I think that could be definitely improved on.
