Free Parking Christmas Present from Chesterfield
Chesterfield Borough Council has agreed to give free parking for late night shopping in the town on the run-up to Christmas. The Council has also agreed to carry out a full review of parking policy over the coming months so there are no proposed changes to existing charges.
Cllr Chris Ludlow, Executive Member for Environment of Chesterfield Borough Council said: “People are struggling in these tough financial times and Christmas will be an expense that will hit hard with many local residents.
“We want to encourage people to shop locally in Chesterfield and having free parking will hopefully be an attraction that will keep our shops and markets busy over the Christmas shopping period.”
Free parking available from 4.00pm onwards on all Chesterfield Borough Council car parks within the town centre on Thursday’s from 24th November until the week prior to Christmas week and then each day from Monday 19thDecember until Friday 23rd December.
This incentive will be part of a marketing campaign arrange by Destination Chesterfield to promote Chesterfield over the christmas period.
