SAVE OUR PARK!

CALDER HOLMES PARK IS UNDER THREAT! Calderdale Council is considering a new traffic management plan for Hebden Bridge. It includes conversion of part of our park for use as a bus and coach park. A meaningless consultation exercise has been carried out. Most Hebden Bridge residents did not even know about it. A campaign is being organised to save thc park. Objectors will be lobbying Council meetings. A petition has been launched. There will be other action.
