£5.50 very reasonable. Pity more councils don't adopt these schemes.

Stayed there twice. It's very convenient for Skipton town centre. Not stayed at Settle though. Same arrangement at Helmsley which is also a good stopover.

There are overnight bays in Skipton and Settle. This is the council web page about it.

They will when they are convinced it is worthwhile - but the provision of facilities doesn't just happen by itself.
Constructive negotiation and highlighting the evidence is the way to go.
The more people can truly demonstrate the value to their own councils (or places they visit) the better.
