Dizzy Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Spotted this today near Sankey Green/Pink Eye roundabout when I was having a stroll Seems the parking prices in the town centre are making some people choose to park a little further out of the town centre and leave their cars there all day annoying people while they work or shop.

Evil Sid Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 The market multi storey is £1.00 for three hours and is not as far away from the golden square as this place. so £1.00 for three hours and not as far to walk is too expensive for some people..... There are several places offering all day parking for £2.50 that are closer to town centre. you could even park for free at the "asda" car park at cockhedge if you spend more than a fiver in asda and get your ticket validated at the till. Could understand it if it was the golden square or the short stay at cockhedge which is £1.00 for the first hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I thought the pub was a nursery now, is general parking still allowed there then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 There's always a few cars parked there when I've passed. Not on the pub/nursery car park though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 affecting, not effecting....sign obviously written by an illiterate person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 perhaps something along these lines would be a more effective deterrant. Do know that a year or two back my brother was attending a funeral that had the after funeral drinks at the roosters place. he and several others parked near the bowling green pub. all were given parking tickets as the area had double yellow lines. they would have used the old pub car park but it was full of cars from staff at lever brothers at the time.

wolfie Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 When you affect a situation, you have an effect on it, by parking you are having an effect on local business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 "Effect" can be used as a noun or a verb although is is most often used as a noun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 When effect is used as a verb it doesn't mean what the sign writer meant it to mean though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 they would have used the old pub car park but it was full of cars from staff at lever brothers at the time. How do you know all the cars belonged to Levers staff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 because when i parked across the entrance to take pics of teh double yellows around teh place for an appeal by my brothers, (didn't want to park on double yellows did i) an irate memebr of levers staff, who had just come off shift and walked to his car from the gate in that area had a right go at me. he did not want to be late home to which i replied that he should have used the staff car park then instead of the pub car park.
