Many agreed that the number of cars dangerously parked on Vincent Road was at crisis level, with a number of other pictures being sent to show how ridiculous some of the parking gets.
Carl Lomax echoed the sentiments of many who live in the area, saying: “It’s a nightmare, so much illegal parking on pavements in and around the area and as a resident of Vincent Road I want something done about it.”

Councillor Bob Johnson, Cabinet Member for Transport and Sustainability at Sheffield City Council, said: “These reductions have impacted on the Transport Planning budget.

Graham Wroe added: “It's exactly the same in Norfolk Park between City Road and Granville Road.”
