Hello

Just thought might be of interest to anyone in or around Cardiff. I enquired about motorbikes parking in voucher parking areas, which covers a lot of the area around cardiff city centre. The reply I had is as follows :-

Good result - I guess if you don't ask, you don't get. Keep a copy of your letter should you encounter any less-informed parking wardens...

Have you seen this :-

https://www.cardiff.gov.uk/content.asp?nav=2870%2C4048%2C4192&parent_directory_id=2865&positioning_article_id=&language=&sortkey=

Which gives the motorbike bays in Cardiff and a map. Personally I don't use them as I work in the university at the end of queen street so I always park there, 2 min from the centre of town with bike parking area and barrier access to cars,vans etc.

Cheers

Dave

There's one on Churchill Way (the street that runs away from Queen Street at Virgin and the natwest bank), another on Wyndham Place (leads onto Queen St next to Barclays opposite the Capitol Centre), another on Charles Street (leads out between M&S and Next) and there used to be one on the Hayes, outside what used to be Halfords but not sure if this is still there due to all the construction going on in the old David Morgans. There may also be one at the bottom of Westgate Street (go straight on where it bends right and just before you have to turn left onto Wood Street).

AFAIK, the ones on Churchill Way Wyndham Place have a metal frame to securely chain your bike up to as well. Thumbs Up

I have been parking this way for 4 years now. I was also told by the traffic wardens that motorbikes can be parked on pavements as long as it doesnot cause problems to pedestrians or does not cause a hazard to anyone. So since then i park my bike dead in the centre of the city centre chained it to a electric pole and have been doing so without any problems from any traffic wardens
