Nipped down to Coatbridge St in Clayton on Wednesday afternoon before the game to check out if any signs were up etc…the 90 minute signs are up, but had the craic with a resident (who was unfortunately a rag) who said the restrictions don’t come into force until March. She said she was still waiting on her residents permit, and until the residents had their permits it cannot be enforced. That’s what she said anyway.
This would explain why no tickets handed out on Wednesday…

Yep saying the haven’t got capacity to do it, i remember going to Monchegladbach, free buses for anyone with a match ticket and buses laid in especially for away fans

And yet the council in their infinite wisdom failed to make adding extra capacity to the network part of the planning requirements. They could have got a chunk of money out of the developer which in the long run would have benefited all of this new housing they are planning to put in.

From what's been said on here, that sounds about right. Wasn't it something to do with the opening of the Co-op Live. Nobody is kept informed about anything, pretty clueless really.
I had to use the bus on Wednesday night, as usual they don't get the timing's right. The 7.30 match finishes around 9.25, bus leaves at 9.30. 8.00 match finishes at 9.55, bus leaves at 10.00, early leavers? At least the driver didn't mess about, he didn't ask for passes or payment, just got us all on board and swiftly home.
 
I walked back up Briscoe Ln, Grimshaw Ln and plenty of parked cars most without blue badges all without a ticket.

Some of the ones parked fully on the pavement on Grimshaw probably deserved one for shit parking!!!

I suspect that a horrible night in the middle of winter was a good excuse for MCC to give a false sense of security to drivers and come the Everton game weekend overtime will be snapped up by the "I'm only doing my job" hat wearers.

I walk and get the tram. The weather was horrible on Wednesday night so the trams were busier and slower all the way from East Didsbury where I got on. A broken rail at Exchange Square only one of the cross City routes was open further slowing the tram. More people will have to get public transport which will mean extreme pinch points where people will be packed in like sardines. We need more trams but they have said they will not provide any. This does not make sense if the Council are extending No Parking across a wider area.

Never understood why an ambitious city can't have a circle line around the outer regions. It could swing through Ancoats, Eastlands, Longsight etc towards the East Didsbury line one way. The other loop up the Victoria bit towards its Salford branches. Would surely boost the economy and get Manchester moving

Have you spoken with planners in GM?

Most are are anti parking even on new build homes. The view is that providing less off road parking with new homes will encourage people to travel more sustainably. My view is , will it fuck, they will just have to park on the road. If people are paying £300/350k for an average 3 bed semi house, expect them to have 2 cars minimum.

They live in a deluded fantasy world with criminally outdated Local Plans.

It was proposed by a Mayoral candidate who got 2.4% of the vote in 2017. Not that exact route but a wider circle line.
 
Oh how I'll miss parking in Little Mariupol (Upper Helena Street) on dark, cold, rainy, weekday nights, then walking through deep wet puddles, before attempting the obstacle course through Ashton Canal Park (akin to the Total Wipeout course for the Burnley game), then over the tram tracks in sodden trainers and socks, before taking my seat wondering if it really is all worth it!

On the plus side, we've parked there for free for every home game for at least the last 10 years!

Bloody Nora, you've actually come up with an idea that's SLOWER than the Metro!!!
 
Not strictly parking related but article in men today about plans to amend the junction of Turing way and Ashton old road into a CYCLOPS junction (segregated lanes for cyclists and pedestrians).

Fits with the whole we don’t want cars here in this area mantra. More infrastructure for cyclists that won’t get used nearly enough to justify it. At least city will put more bike sheds in to go with it…

Mention of improving road safety at a hot spot and also putting in measures that will in the long run make people want to use alternative methods of transport. Most idiotic way to do things, also the transport not to a decent enough standard.

I just read the same article mate, I’d happily take public transport but it’s an absolute joke for me and my sons where we are etc would turn a match into an all day thing and as a disabled fan and one son with autism it sure as hell will suck the fun out of the whole match day
 
These clowns that put the restrictions in place have no idea what travelling on public transport entails for some.
In a world that professes to be understanding of all people, they don't realise the problems it can cause.
Plenty of people have anxiety of tightly packed carriages and been at the beck and call of a service provider.
The CAR is their only comfort.
Limiting parking is driving (no pun intended) away these supporters, but as we know they don't give a stuff because they'll sell the tickets for £60 a pop!!!!!!
