Thieves have stolen the car parking ticket machines from a Bradford beauty spot.

The machines have been removed from the council-run car park at the St Ives Estate in Bingley.

Bradford Council said they had been stolen over the weekends of 3 to 5 February and 10 to 12 February.

A spokesperson for the authority said all parking charges at the site would be suspended until the machines could be recovered or replaced.

Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police.

Parking charges were initially due to be introduced at the site in 2020 but were delayed until July 2021 due to the pandemic.
