RESIDENTS could see an end to nuisance parking by workers, patients and visitors from nearby Airedale Hospital.
A residents-only parking scheme is to be introduced in residential streets surrounding the hospital in the Thornhill Road area of Steeton.
Keighley MP John Grogan said he had brokered a deal between the hospital and Bradford Council to secure funding.
He revealed the hospital would put in £10,000 and Keighley Area Committee – part of the Council – would provide £5,000.
Mr Grogan said: “For the last two years I have been trying to find a solution for Steeton residents who have complained they cannot park in their own street. The council now have the money in the bank to fund a residents-only parking scheme. I understand they will undertake a public consultation on which streets should be included later in the year.”
