Yorkshire Water is planning a trial of parking charges at four of its Yorkshire reservoirs at Fewston, Swinsty, Thruscross and Langsett.
The company is proposing to charge £1 an hour, £2 for two hours, £3 for six hours, and an ‘all-day’ charge of £5. There is also a suggestion of an annual pass system.We took a lot of time to understand how visitors use our sites and what other similar sites around the country do and we’ve come up with these proposed tariffs:
A spokesman for the company said: “We’ll be seeking planning permission for parking meters at these sites this month, and if approved, they’ll be installed for a trial period later this year. We’ll be working with local authorities in the coming months to keep disruption to local communities to a minimum.
“The charges will help us improve the facilities at our sites and deliver nature conservation projects. We’ll also be able to expand our first ever in-house ranger team who are there to make sure we all have the best experience at our sites, complete any maintenance work and tackle anti-social behaviour.”
