Calderdale car parking price hikes to hit the borough
From Monday February 25 2019, changes to existing parking charges will be introduced on a number of streets and in car parks across the borough.
Following approval by Cabinet in November 2018, parking tariffs are now being amended in a mix of on-street and off-street existing pay and display locations.

“We’ve looked at tariffs right across Calderdale and carefully considered each town’s circumstances and individual requirements. In some places charges have reduced, for example we’ve introduced a flat £1 per day charge on Saturdays in North Bridge car park in Halifax to encourage more people to come to the town to enjoy shopping or leisure activities.”
The Council said the money raised from parking charges is used to support investment in local highways initiatives.
