Free parking on Saturdays this Christmas season

Shoppers will be able to park for free in Lower Bond Street, Trinity West and Castle car parks (after 9am) in the four Saturdays before Christmas. The Borough Council has agreed to repeat the popular offer again this year to thank shoppers for their loyalty and to increase trade for shops, Hinckley Market, restaurants, the cinema and all local businesses.

The free parking offer applies from 9am on Saturday 28 November and 5, 12 and 19 December. Shoppers are reminded that parking is free in all council run car parks on Sundays throughout the year.

Shoppers will also be able to park for free in North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) car park during the four Saturdays before Christmas and additionally on Friday 20 from 3 o'clock. The car park, which is directly behind the Atkins Building, can be accessed from Druid Street.

Council Leader, Cllr Stuart Bray said: “As Christmas approaches, we know many families are carefully managing their budgets. This free parking offer is designed to make it easier for residents to enjoy our town centres, pick up festive gifts, meet family and friends, and support the fantastic local businesses that are at the heart of our communities. Every purchase made locally helps our high streets thrive. My thanks also to NWSLC for opening their car park to shoppers.”
