Parking woe at city climbing centre

“Mr Baldwin believes much of the current problems are down to a lack of clarity as to where people can and cannot park.
LOOK AT THE STREET SIGNS!

He added: "At the minute our customers are easy pickings. I'm sure if you looked at the statistics you would see a lot of tickets being dished out in Parliament Street.
MAKE A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST TO THE COUNCIL!

"We want to attract visitors to Gloucester, not put them off, and they need to know where they can and cannot park.
FOLLOW SIGNS TO CAR PARKS AND READ STREET SIGNS

"At the moment it obviously isn't clear enough."
READ THE FRIGGIN SIGNS”

“Parent 51 there has been a bus stop on both sdes of the road since the linkage scheme was introduced as there is no more kimbroes triangle for vehicles to go around . I am not surprised the traffic wardens are a round many a time I have been stuck on a bus that could not get through because of parked cars , there are loads of car parks 2 minutes walk away , I thought the idea of the climding centre was to get fit an extra 2 mins walk is nothing , but as per noral because some people are special they shoild be able to park where and when they want , and when they get there and the spaces if propvided are full they just park where they want because they are the only ones who count . I know parking has been a problem there for years as I spent many a year dropping of and picking up children but if I had got a ticket it would serv e mr right I can reas and I know the law”

Fair point made there. Some parents would abuse it. I'm one of the parents who would drop of my child book in then out, 5 mins max usually.

what part of the street would you use for the drop off point? There are bus stops on both sides of the road so where?" Where i said. The Warehouse has a loading bay, they don't have delivery vehicles there all the time. Again, the buses don't stay there. I haven't been down there for a while, but there used to only be one. If there is a bus stop either side, then it does change matters.”

“This reminds me of the Jeff Payne.
They don't just park in the loading bay they also park on the pavement towards Kimbrose the matter is that there is parking available in the docks car park, StMicheals Square, Longsmith Street, Brunswick Road, Brunswick Square.
If the Kids have been climbing then surely they can walk that far!

@Parent51 what part of the street would you use for the drop off point? There are bus stops on both sides of the road so where?”

“Problem is, Parent 51, that 10 minutes becomes 25 minutes which prevents others using the service.
Perhaps they could have valet parking...”

“"The area outside the climbing centre has parking restrictions including double yellow lines and a loading bay, which is for the loading and unloading of heavy or bulky goods, not passengers."
As it states above, why not have a Set down area included as well. Let parents drop there youngsters of and be allowed 10 minutes to book the kids in to The Warehouse. Otherwise, The Warehouse may move out of town if the problem keeps up.”

“There is parking nearby at the docks just a short walk away. There has been parking restrictions in Parliment street for many years . Just seems a case of people not wanted to pay to park.”

“The clues as to why the tickets are issued are plain to see in the photo, that being the double yellow lines and the gert big 'No Loading' sign. Both the St Michael's Square and Docks car parks are very close to the Warehouse, and St Michael's Square's free in the evening.”
