Car Park Full Very Early?

[Lundan Cabbie]

So would it not assist all of us if there was some enforcement around the "no park and ride" usage when Argyle are playing? Stewards around from say 9am on a match day turning away those who are not attending the match, perhaps. Or actually closing the car park with barriers until a later time such as midday when stewards could then be at the gates.

Well you live and learn.

A £7 charge for Saturdays would bring in a few bob and make the non footy parkers use elsewhere

What about people that work at argyle? They're gonna have to pay if they want to park? Stupid idea,
leave it as it is, if you get there an there's no spaces so be it.

Have to show a season or match ticket.

Free parking for season ticket holders!!!??? I didn't mean the club to get the money. I doubt Argyle would cough up to subsidise such an idea. With councils being hard pressed on budgets, it would be a reasonable scheme.

Could be missing something here but why not simply park in allocated bays at the free car park 200 yds away behind the lifecentre?

Or is this not cricket?

It's for Life Centre users only. I'm sure they have security there when we're playing at home.

Nope......

Nothing I love more than a parking thread!!!!

Okay Darren, what's the regs for the Life Centre car park? Did they bring in the proposed 2 hour limit? Unless using the LC when the car details could be passed to them?

 

[Guiri Green]

Park away from the ground and, if able, walk. Free and good for you.

Its a central park car park so not for life centre users. they have people there trying to put argyle fans off from parking there i think but they can't actually stop you. its get busy quickly though.
I expect in a few years there will be a time limit but then that wouldn't work considering its a central park car park

I stand corrected although I recall reading last year that the council were on about bringing the time limit in. Don't know if they have yet.

Life Centre car park is only for swimmers and athletes, Shankster!!!

I tend to arrive around 1:30/1:45 and usually get one of the last spots in the car park. Plenty of street parking within a 10min walk though and often quicker after the game than queueing to get out of the car park.

As of the 16th Feb the P&R car park has an off street order which is not superceded by any agreement PAFC may have to use it on match day, this is on no way linked to the P&R and is a public car park. The Mayflower B car park is operated under licence and agreement by PCC on behalf of Everyone Active, this currently has no time limit and can be used by park users, however the Lifecentre can request a change to the order to restrict time etc should they deem as such, one thing all should remember park within a marked bay!!!

The council said this 13 months ago Darren:

A rotation system is also being proposed for the Life Centre car park, with a maximum stay of two hours and no return for two hours. Life Centre customers will be able to register their vehicle for a longer stay if needed.

No movement on that then?

No we undertook a significant consultation and at that stage the customers of the Lifecentre did not want a time limit, it was therefore removed from the proposal, this will however be reconsidered should the Lifecentre request it.
