An early Christmas present has been announced for shoppers in Erewash – with free Saturday parking during December.
The £4 fee for more than three hours plus the £1.50 for shorter stays will be scrapped from 10:00am in all the borough council’s car parks – with charges only continuing to apply at Long Eaton’s train station.
The first of the free Saturdays is on December 7th – followed by payments being waived on the 14th and 21st.
Car users hoping to grab post-Christmas bargains on Saturday 28 December will also benefit.
Borough Councillor Curtis Howard, who is also the Lead Member for Town Centres, Regeneration and Planning, said: “Last Christmas, we only had a few car parks where charges were waived. This time around the council is determined to give our town centre businesses a bigger festive boost. It means residents can save money while supporting our terrific local shops on what are traditionally the busiest days of the year.”
