Short-stay parking for Heckmondwike Market visitors.
40 Market Street Parking is a council-operated, tarmacked surface lot situated at 40 Market Street, Heckmondwike (WF16 0HX), serving local businesses and the market. The facility holds approximately 50 vehicles, including three accessible bays adjacent to the pedestrian exit onto Market Street. Tariffs are £0.80 per hour with a maximum stay of two hours MondaySaturday 08:0018:00; Sundays are free. LED bollard lighting provides illumination from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras monitor all circulation aisles. A pedestrian footpath leads to Heckmondwike Market (0.05 miles), which operates every Wednesday and Saturday. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in 2021, with bay markings repainted annually. Drainage channels around the perimeter prevent pooling during heavy rain. Regular patrols by Kirklees Council wardens ensure compliance, and an emergency call point near the pay machine connects to the council control room.
