Hi all, I put myself on the subscriber list for WYCA transport planning, very interesting email has just come through requesting input towards a new plan, as the current one agreed in 2017 is in need of a refresh....there's an online questionnaire and face to face panel in Halifax 3rd September. It would be fantastic if as many people could take part as possible. HRBF will be there!

We (the West Yorkshire Combined Authority) are working with the five West Yorkshire local authorities (Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield) to renew the Mayor’s West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan. We are asking for your views on the vision and

Parking in Hebden Bridge can be… tricky. Our gorgeous steep valleys mean land is at premium, and while we encourage visitors to take public transport, walk, or cycle where they can, we know driving here is the only option for many people.

That’s why we’re in conversations with Calderdale Council and Hebden Royd Town Council to help develop a long-term parking strategy for the area.

Based on the ‘2022 Calderdale Visitor Economy Report’, we estimate that visitors using 50 car parking spaces contribute at least £4,000 a day to our economy, which adds up to £1.46 million over a year (💸).

We’re asking the councils to keep this in mind when making any plans to remove parking spaces without replacing them elsewhere.

If you’re a local business owner and want to keep up to date with the parking conversation, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter. The link is in the bio or you can email us [email protected]

And if you’re planning to visit Hebden Bridge soon, have a think about parking at either Todmorden or Mytholmroyd train station and getting the train for that last bit of the journey. Or even better, use public transport for the full route (if you can) 🌳
