Ilkley Town Council [ITC] is keen to gather residents’ views about the recent changes to car parking, made by Bradford Council, which came into effect in the town at the start of the year.
Changes included, removing the one hour free street parking from most streets around the centre and an extension of the charging period until 8pm, it was 6pm previously.
Ilkley Town Council says it was not happy with Bradford’s decision to plough ahead with the changes, despite its recommendations and the town’s petition to stop them.
ITC has launched an online survey for residents, workers and visitors to share their views, this can be completed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9P6KKTM
A number of drop-in sessions are also being held where you can discuss your thoughts on the changes with local Councillors. You will be able to fill out a feedback form and comment on how the new charges have affected you.
The sessions will take place at Vitello Lounge on Brook Street during the following dates and times:
-
Tuesday 24 Feb 2:30pm-4:00pm
-
Wednesday 25 Feb 9:30am-10:30am
-
Wednesday 25 Feb 6:00pm-7:00pm
For those who can't attend one of the sessions, you are being encouraged to give your feedback via the online survey:: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9P6KKTM
This feedback will then be relayed to Bradford decision makers in the hope that they will reverse their decision or provide a workaround for local residents.
