Last time I went through Ilkeley on a Saturday afternoon I recall it being a heaving nightmare.

The wife has a hair appointment booked for 3 (normally 9am so parking in the main car park is no issue) in a couple of Saturdays time..

Is there anywhere else where there's always spaces, or good residential streets that are close to the centre where she can park if the main car parks are full?

Cheers

I always park on the other side of the river from the town centre - on Denton Road:

The Grove is free parking for up to 2 hours if you can find a spot. All the riads that lead off it upwards towards the moor are free too.

If you do a light shop in M&S you can justifiably use their parking (behind the station) for a couple of hours. Generally spaces free there.

Or, as said above, Denton Rd and down by the river, though these are usually snagged by day trippers etc.

In summary: it's a piece of piss. Man up and worry about the state of the nation wink

As above, M&S at the station is usually fine.

When I call by most Saturdays I either park there or use Whitton Croft Road (5hrs parking, off Wells Road), or at the other end of The Grove you can try Cunliffe Road (where Mortens is) and the road just off it (Regent Road). The great thing about parking there is that whilst your wife has her hair cut, you can have a gaze round Mortens and see all the wondrous stock they have, then have a pint in Bar T'at afterwards.

And/or pop over the road to Martinez (wine bar downstairs)

Or Smooth on Wells Road makes a nice alternative to Bettys.

Thanks very much..

I'll get Googling and put them into her sat nav as favourites!

I'd normally just let her battle on but she's pregnant, so the less hassle is for the best at the minute!
