Newark and Sherwood District Council is offering free weekend and bank holiday parking at all its managed pay and display car parks from Sunday, 24th November until Sunday, 29th December to support businesses and attract visitors during the festive season.
Those using the car parks on one of the free days will still need to pick up a free ticket when they park.
Coun Paul Peacock, leader of the council, said: “We want to continue this offer for residents and to take the extra step and further support residents and businesses this Christmas.
“I urge all residents and visitors to Newark to seize this wonderful opportunity, explore our remarkable independent shops, and participate in the exciting events happening this year.”
Darren Bourke, of Masdings Designer Clothes shop on Middle Gate, Newark, said: “This is fantastic news for shoppers and local businesses alike. The convenience of parking and visiting the town centre on weekends along with free parking tickets will help bring more visitors and shoppers into our amazing town to experience all that is on offer at this time of year.”
