Short-stay parking in Batley town centre.
Wards Hill Car Park is a council-operated, tarmacked lot located at 26 Wellington Street, Batley (WF17 5HZ), serving the town centre. The facility holds approximately 80 vehicles, including six accessible bays near the pedestrian exit onto Batley High Street. Tariffs are £0.80 per hour, maximum stay two hours MondaySaturday 08:0018:00; Sundays are free. LED lighting columns provide illumination from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras monitor all circulation aisles. A sealed footpath leads from the car park to Batley High Street (0.1 miles), where shops, cafés, and the Batley Interchange bus station are located. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in 2021, with fresh bay markings and speed bumps to control traffic flow. Drainage channels around the perimeter prevent pooling during heavy rain. Regular patrols by Kirklees Council warden ensure compliance.
