New parking and traffic changes proposed across Kirklees
New waiting restrictions, permit bays and short-stay parking measures could be introduced on several roads across Kirklees under fresh council proposals.
Kirklees Council has published plans to amend its existing traffic regulation order affecting parts of Heckmondwike, Dewsbury and Cleckheaton.
The proposed changes would introduce and amend waiting restrictions on sections of Church Street and Cemetery Road in Heckmondwike, Camroyd Street in Dewsbury, and Church Street in Cleckheaton.
Under the plans:
- Waiting would be prohibited at any time on a length of Church Street in Cleckheaton.
- Waiting would be banned between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday, on lengths of Church Street and Cemetery Road in Heckmondwike.
- Waiting would be prohibited between 8am and 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday, on part of Camroyd Street in Dewsbury.
- Additional restrictions between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday, are proposed for part of Cemetery Road in Heckmondwike.
Permit holder parking bays operating between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday, are also proposed for parts of Church Street and Cemetery Road in Heckmondwike.
On Camroyd Street in Dewsbury, free parking bays limited to 30 minutes, with no return within 30 minutes, would operate between 8am and 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday.
The council said the purpose of the order is to improve safety, accessibility and traffic flow.
Specific measures include extending a limited waiting bay on Camroyd Street to support short-term parking for customers at a nearby garage, correcting road markings on Church Street in Heckmondwike to allow enforcement, relocating a permit bay on Cemetery Road to maintain access for refuse vehicles, and introducing double yellow lines on Church Street in Cleckheaton to tackle obstructive parking.
If approved, the order would also revoke outdated provisions in the existing 2024 consolidation order and modify current waiting restrictions on Thomas Street in Heckmondwike.
Full details of the draft order and plans can be viewed via the council’s traffic regulation webpage or by contacting the highways team.
Objections must be submitted by March 12, 2026, quoting reference DEV/HG/D1162519(AO).
