Free parking in town centres on Saturday
It’s expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year on Saturday – and Christmas shoppers will be able to park for free in town centres across the borough.
Dudley Council has confirmed it will offer free parking to encourage shoppers into the towns and support businesses with their Christmas trade.
Free parking will be available all day on all council car parks on Saturday. (Dec 20)
No pay and display ticket will be required. Normal charges will resume at 7am on Sunday.
A printable poster advertising free parking will be available to download from the council’s website from tomorrow (Thu) for businesses to display in windows.
Councillor Patrick Harley, leader of the council, said:
“The last Saturday before Christmas is traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year, as people go out looking for last minute gifts for their loved ones.
“I hope that by offering free car parking in our town centres, it will encourage people to support local businesses.”
