Free weekend parking offer will last through to new year
Wokingham Borough Council’s free parking scheme is set to return during the Christmas period.
Free parking will be offered in council owned car parks every weekend in December and on the first weekend in January.
The scheme has been extended to include Saturday, December 25 and Saturday, January 1 as these are not bank holidays and users would normally be charged.
Dates for free parking in December include: Saturday 4, 11, 18, and 25, Sunday 26, Monday 27 and Tuesday 28.
In January, free parking will be available on Saturday 1 and
Monday 3.
The councilowned car parks offering free parking include:
W Twyford – Polehampton Close
W Wargrave –
School Lane
W Wokingham – Carnival Pool Multi Storey, Easthampstead Road (East and West), Denmark Street, Cockpit Path, Shute End and Rose Street
W Woodley –
Lytham Road (East and West), Crockhamwell Road and Headley Road.
Councillor Pauline Jorgensen, executive member for highways and transport, said: “Supporting our
residents and local businesses is really important to us, so we are once again offering free parking to enable people to shop local this Christmas.
“We have a great range of independent and chain shops, restaurants and bars in the borough and we are helping people to access them and see what we have to offer by providing free parking.”
Restrictions including parking in the correct bays, maximum stays and ‘no return’ times still apply.
