Pateley parking permits reduced to £10 a year

Pateley Bridge's annual parking permits will go on sale on April 1 at the reduced price of £10.

The permit, which is available to residents and non-residents, enables free parking for two hours at the town's council-run Southlands and Nidd Walk car parks.

The permit cost £12 last year and also included parking at Nidderdale Showground.

But that arrangement ended in December when NIdderdale Agricultural Society, which owns the showground, ended a 21-year lease agreement with Harrogate Borough Council to operate the car park and appointed a private company instead.

The issue caused bad feeling as people who had bought the annual permit in good faith were shocked to discover before it had expired that they were liable for charges at the showground.

The 2023/24 permits, which cover two vehicles, will go on sale at Nidderdale Plus on Station Square on April 1.

Pateley town councillor Mike Holt said the permit was tremendous value, adding:

"The council was bitterly disappointed with the parking situation which occurred at the showground and has been in negotiation with Harrogate Borough Council.
"We are pleased to announce that through these negotiations, the parking permits will still be valid at Southlands and Nidd Walk for £10."


Cllr Holt said the council received an allocation of 600 permits each year and usually sold 300 to 400 on the day they went on sale and the majority of the rest afterwards.
