East Riding of Yorkshire Council is again providing free weekend parking for Christmas shoppers.
The council has offered free parking in the run-up to Christmas for the past 17 years. This will be repeated this December.
The second weekend of free parking also coincides with Small Business Saturday, a national campaign that encourages people to shop locally and support small businesses in their communities.
Parking charges will be suspended at the council’s on-street and off-street parking locations across the East Riding from 8am on Saturday to 8am on Monday on the following weekends:
- Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November
- Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December
- Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December
- Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December
Parking charges will apply on all other dates including Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 December.
Legal notices will be displayed in all locations to advise motorists there is no charge.
While parking charges are suspended, motorists are advised that normal parking rules still apply, such as those around disabled parking bays, maximum stays and controlled parking zones (CPZ).
