It\u2019s a bit of a war on motorists- we see these prices go up but see prices of electric cars coming down.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Roberts, an office worker, pays \u00a360 a week to park on the edge of the city centre but will be affected by the tariff increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the first time parking fees and charges have increased across the city since June 2022 in order to track inflation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest increase is for on street city centre parking from Monday to Saturday which is set to increase from \u00a33 per hour to \u00a33.25 per hour in Zone One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular central car parks such as West Street Lane and Devonshire Green will increase from \u00a35.50 for six hours to \u00a35.95 all day for a maximum six hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes as single tram fares rose from \u00a32 to \u00a32.80 in November 2023, with a concession single with a Zoom Card also up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield businesses in the city centre could be impacted due to the increased cost of getting into the city centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Roberts added: \u201cIt definitely could affect businesses if people are disincentivised to come in (to the centre) and have to spend more money on their parking and less money on their shopping.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Otten, chair of the Waste and Street Scene Policy, said: \u201cParking charges have to be set for traffic management reasons. Say you&#8217;ve not got enough space for the people who want to park at that certain time then the price can obviously go up.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees for tariffs and permits will increase from the 1st April 2024 and notices will be displayed around parking metres.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pricing for parking tickets, permits are set to increase from April 2024. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":604,"featured_media":55239,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[50,85,55],"tags":[473,1227,38],"class_list":["post-55231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-top-story-2","category-top-story-3","tag-cars","tag-parking","tag-sheffield"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
