Free parking offer on Saturdays in town

FREE car parking will be available in the town centre on Saturdays in January.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is to allow free parking on Lower Bond Street, Druid Street, Alma Road, Holliers Walk, Trinity Vicarage Road and Thornycroft Road car parks on every Saturday in January.

The offer is to thank shoppers for their loyalty and to increase trade for shops and businesses.

The free parking offer applies from 9am on January 5, 12, 19 and 25.

Shoppers are reminded that parking is free in all council run car parks on Sundays throughout the year.

Councillor Miriam Surtees, executive member for Town and Urban Communities, said: “We are delighted to be able to extend our free parking offer in January to continue to support town centre businesses during what can often be a quieter shopping month.

“We trust that this free offer will encourage residents and visitors to continue to shop local, visiting our local stores and market plus our cinema and restaurants.”
