“We hope that this will give a boost to our local retailers and benefit residents and visitors.”
The council’s on-street parking spaces and its own car parks are next free on December 8, then on December 15 and December 22.
Signs will be displayed on or next to parking payment machines to publicise the dates for free parking. The free parking offer does not include privately-run car parks or Merchant Gate multi-storey car park.
