Three hours free parking in Broxtowe Council-owned car parks this December
For the whole of December, high street visitors will be able to park for free in Broxtowe Council-run car parks for up to three hours, encouraging festive shoppers to visit and support Broxtowe’s high streets.
Drivers will still need to obtain a valid ticket from parking ticket machines, or on the PayByPhone app, which will issue free tickets for the first three hours, with normal charges applying after this period.
This means three hours free parking will be available in December in the car parks on , Alexandra Street, King Street, Oxford Street, Scargill Walk, Sun Inn and Victoria Street in Eastwood and James Street, Newdigate Street, Station Road and Victoria Street in Kimberley.
The council says feedback from residents being taken on board for this year is behind the decision.
Coun Greg Marshall (Brox All), deputy leader and portfolio holder for resources and personnel, said, “Our Broxtowe high streets have some of the best independent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars around – perfect for Christmas shopping, or festive celebrations with friends, family, or colleagues.
“This year, we’ve listened to residents who asked for a longer period of free parking, and so we’ve extended the initiative to cover the entire month of December.
“The aim is to give high street businesses that little extra boost this Christmas, but also to save an extra few pounds and pennies in the pockets of visitors.”
“Support Broxtowe businesses and shop local this Christmas.
Please note parking charges still apply at Technology Drive and Station Road car parks in Beeston.
