The usual fees will be waived in several off-street car parks during December
Free parking will be on offer in several parts of Preston city centre in the run-up to Christmas. Preston City Council and Lancashire County Council have once again agreed to waive the usual fees on several of their off-street car parks in order to make the city’s shopping streets a more tempting destination during December.
There will be no need to pay to use the Arthur Street car park – at the back of County Hall – after 3pm on weekdays from Monday 2nd to Monday 23rd December, while it will be free all day on several Sundays – 24th November and 8th and 15th December. It will also be free up until 5pm on Christmas Eve.A similar schedule will apply to the Penny Street and Trinity Square sites, except they will also be free on Sunday 22nd December and from 1pm on Monday 23rd December.
None of the other council-operated or privately-run car parks in the city – nor the county council’s on-street pay and display facilities – are taking part in the initiative and the usual charges will apply at all those locations. "The city’s provision of free parking is generally well utilised – and we hope that people will take advantage of the offer, once again, and support high street businesses throughout December. There’s also free parking on the afternoon of the Christmas lights switch-on – on 23rd November – so we’d encourage people to come to town earlier, enjoy some Christmas shopping and have a bite to eat.
