Decision details

KAL seeks to implement a pay and display system at the car park at Colne Valley Leisure Centre, Slaithwaite.  Kirklees Council and Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL) will enter into a legal agreement for the management of the car park by the council on behalf of KAL, introducing charges at the car park and the requirement for residents’ permits for adjacent properties. The Council is permitted to enter into the agreement under its power under S33 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

The charging rate will be set to encourage parking elsewhere by members of the public to ensure sufficient parking for Leisure Centre users and will be introduced at the same time as charges in 15 car parks across Kirklees.
