The affected length of Burnley Road currently offers unrestricted parking (i.e. without time limit) and is close to Hebden Bridge Railway Station and the Town Centre.
The north eastern side of Burnley Road between Station Road and Fallingroyd (see the scheme drawing in the supporting documents) is often densely parked for extensive periods of time throughout the week. Some of this parking makes it difficult for residents/visitors to safely access properties off Burnley Road because of the reduced visibility (notably Mayroyd, Tythe Barn and Falling Road) and this parking also forces some other adjacent residents to have to park significant distances from their homes.
Following a review of parking on this length of Burnley Road, the Council is proposing to introduce: -
- Selected lengths of “no waiting at any time” restrictions (double yellow lines) to protect the above accesses/driveways providing better visibility.
- The introduction of pay and display parking restrictions to help manage the supply and demand of on-street parking on Burnley Road and to encourage reduction of reliance on private vehicles, encouraging greater use of alternatives such as public transport.
- The parking bays will also double up as residents parking bays. A further resident only parking bay is also proposed near to Thorn Bank.
These restrictions are intended to help balance the needs of all road users, encourage the safe and efficient movement of traffic along this primary traffic corridor.
In summary the scheme proposes to introduce the following restrictions (more detailed information is indicated in the supporting documents below):
- ‘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 daily on lengths of the north eastern side of the A646 Burnley Road
- ‘Residents only’ permit parking for adjacent residents* at all times on the north eastern side of the A646 Burnley Road adjacent to Thorn Bank
* Includes residences at Thorn Bank, Machpelah and Mayroyd Moorings (resident permits only).
The above proposals require changes to the existing Traffic Regulation Order.
This is a statutory consultation (i.e. not an informal one), and we are not planning further consultations on this matter.
Note: Changes to existing parking tariffs within the central area of Hebden Bridge are also being made shortly. These will include the use of lower priced off-peak tariffs in some on street locations and will also see the introduction of capped rates in long stay parking bays. These changes are expected to be introduced in February 2026 and may reduce some of the current usage of Burnley Road.
