The End of on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

[Corky]

Drove down Clayton Lane & noticed restriction signs - permit only between midday & 9pm. still loads of city fans parked there. Anyone get a ticket???

All the residents bays were full to the north of the ground in industrial areas, expected many to be chancing it with the 90 mins, plus cars on double yellow as the rain had covered them, and lots of 100% pavement parking.

There were anomalies where the restrictions just stop and you can park so got a lot closer than normal, but unlikely to happen in the future. The 90 mins bays does make it hard for wardens to cover a large area and do everyone , or they may have been light touch so far, but didn't see tickers. From the past though they are hit and miss, and a night match when it is pissing down probably is the best chance of getting away with it.

Folkestone Road West (after Vale St) has no restrictions. 10-15 mins walk

St Anne’s RC church Carruthers street. About 10 mins walk. £7. Are you staying over? If not then maybe park at Newton le willows station 5 mins off M6 and get the train to Piccadilly (15/20 mins) - not sure of the times back but would save you an hour driving. Free parking at station.

Yes mate we are staying at Salford quay so ideally would like to have the car available as not to sure of the area and the public transport routes

The parking CCTV van thing was on Clayton Lane at about 7pm, not sure if they ticket everyone or just gather evidence to then send a fine in the post?

Saw loads on Briscoe Lane in the 90 min bays, didn't see any with tickets. I expect the shithouse wardens were too soft to be out in the rain tonight but no doubt they'll be creeping around next time.
I fucking despise them, no decent person would do such a job, same level as bailiffs.

They can't dish out tickets after the fact, need to be done there and then - Deregulation Act 2015 s.53

There are exemptions though like the zig zags outside schools, but not standard double yellow or resident bays.

So parked up at Ashton and got the metro absolutely packed but got to the ground in plenty of time, told my lad no parking near the ground. Came out after the game loads of cars parked on Ashton new road that’s where I normally park no double yellow lines wtf. Had to catch the metro the first one was packed and waited for another one. Looking out of the window no yellow lines anywhere, my question is who started this fucking rumour got home at 23-30 grrrr

Salford Quays tram stop direct to Etihad, take about 30 minutes. £4 return. Enjoy the game: )

The wife dropped us off on Ashton new road seen two wardens checking that the cars had blue badges before kickoff.
When she arrived early to pick us up she seen a different two doing the same Also what looked like a camera/video( not police van) van doing the rounds.CTID

I think there is an exception if it’s not practical or safe to use a civil enforcement officer aswell. I am sure they will try to claim it’s not practical to have enough people to cover such a large area.

I was wondering how they would cover all the bays as it would need 100s of wardens to get round twice. CCTV vans would seem like the practical solution for the council.
We aren’t really going to know for a week or so if anyone got fines if they have used a van, hopefully we know before Everton game.
I think a lot parked up last night not even looking as they always park there. Seen a couple of posts about no signs on roads where they are definitely there so maybe they have missed a few bays which will help with appeals

When did you pay £7? Tenner.

 

[blueday]

Anyone know the official reason why all these parking restrictions have been put in place?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Anyone know the official reason why all these parking restrictions have been put in place?

Apparently it was part of the planning conditions for the new concert venue, and City apparently readily agreed

 

[Blue Mist]

Because Greater Manchester voters rejected Burnhams congestion charge.

People putting disabled badges in the mirror from when we've walked past in previous games!

Not a clever decision from City.

And now the 'secure parking' locally have all upped their prices.

Not so much double yellow, more of these.

Fuckers need to ticket all the coaches parked at the Asda bus stop. 216 wasn’t going to let anyone on (or off!) after the game. Fans had to stand in front of the bus to stop him driving away.

If they’re stopping private cars from parking round Phillips park, why can’t they agree to park the coaches round there???

Manchester City Council hate motorists and therefore employ low-wage anti-motorist wardens.
I can accept parking restrictions in residential areas only; anything else stinks of an anti-motoring agenda. Unless it's an anti City fan agenda as the tram isn't up to the job and there are very few buses after the game.
I accept transport companies aren't going to pay lots of drivers to sit around for a couple of hours and then do a shuttle run to town, so people should be able to use private transport without egregious parking restrictions.
