Decision details

The decision to uplift parking charges for all Council – managed car parking spaces in Kirklees – both on-street and off-street, in car parks was made by Cabinet Committee Local Issues on 22 March 2024.

The decision to introduce an annual administrative / management charge for resident and visitor parking permits, and to introduce charges and restrictions for off-street parking in previously free Council car parks was made by Cabinet on 8 October 2024.

Previous decision-making included future revisions to charges annually as per Council financial Procedure Rules and that future revisions to parking tariffs / charges be delegated to the relevant Executive Director or Service Director, in consultation with the relevant Cabinet Member, in accordance with the Financial Procedure Rules.

The decision is to increase all parking tariffs / charges by the current inflationary rate of 3%, including a rounding of fees.

Revised charges will come into operation as follows:
