Taxis
There are several taxi services based in Helmsley. Uber doesn’t cover this area.
Parking on The Terrace
The Terrace is narrow and it can be a problem for people to park without obstructing access. To help alleviate this issue spaces in a privately owned parking area are available to rent adjacent to the old cricket ground at the eastern end of the village.
Contact Richard Morris on shac202@yahoo.com if you would like to book a space.
- A weekly charge applies for all users, renewable annually by agreement.
- Parking is only provided for residents paying to do so and is subject to availability.
- Residents who pay the charge will be allocated a parking space (currently numbered).
It is hoped that, for the benefit of all, residents will respect this system and abide by the rules
outlined above.
