Proposals to introduce parking charges to free Calderdale car parks and changes to tariff times

Currently free car parks at Manor Heath and Ogden Water could see parking charges introduced.

The proposals come after a review of parking charges by Calderdale Council with plans to make changes in response to demand for parking spaces and to manage provision.

According to the council: “The review took into consideration other initiatives, such as planned regeneration, transportation, and highways work, which may affect the supply and demand for parking, to make sure the proposals are as coordinated and ‘joined-up’ as possible, whilst still delivering the underlying principles of the council’s borough-wide parking strategy.”

The first phase of changes were put into place earlier this year when car parks across Calderdale saw amendments to pay and display charging levels.

Phase two will look at amending existing pay and display charging days and hours and maximum stay durations in some car parks in Calderdale and introducing pay and display charges in to currently free to park car parks.
