The authority's cabinet is being asked to approve plans to introduce a three-hour parking limit and charges, along with pay and display machines.

The council's parking services would manage and enforce the parking, and all profits would be reinvested into the park, which is an authority-run charity.

The plan will be discussed at a meeting of Sheffield City Council's cabinet on Wednesday, July 18.

Professor Tony Ward, from the University of York, said the Virtual Signer would use an animation to sign to people.

The plan is to locate touch screens around the city’s tourist hot-spots, enabling hearing-impaired visitors to interact with the avatar.

At the moment the software is limited to the Portuguese, Libra, German, Cypriot, Greek, Slovenian, and British Sign Languages.

Professor Ward said if implemented, the Virtual Signer would be a first for a UK city.
