Plans to introduce new parking restrictions and charges to Burnley Road into Hebden Bridge
Parking charges could be introduced on the route between Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd.
Calderdale Council is proposing to introduce and amend existing parking restrictions on Burnley Road.
The road, close to Hebden Bridge Railway Station and the town centre, currently offers unrestricted parking and is often busy with cars.
Following a review of parking on this length of Burnley Road, the council is proposing to introduce double yellow lines on selected lengths of the route, pay and display parking restrictions and parking bays to double up as residents parking bays.
Notice of a proposed order details the planned restrictions:
• ‘No waiting at any time’ and ‘no waiting and no loading at any time’ restrictions on lengths of the A646 Burnley Road
• ‘No waiting at any time and no loading at any time’ restrictions on both sides of Station Road at its junction with Burnley Road
• Shared ‘residents permit parking’ and ‘long stay pay and display parking’ 8am-8pm on lengths of the north eastern side of the A646 Burnley Road
• ‘Residents only’ permit parking at all times on the north eastern side of the A646 Burnley Road
A statement of reasons notes: “The proposed restrictions will help manage the supply of, and demand for kerb space on Burnley Road and also encourage modal shift.
"The restrictions will balance the needs of all road users to ensure the safe and efficient movement of traffic, and that parking enforcement can be undertaken along this primary traffic corridor.”
