Shoppers will be able to enjoy free parking at selected times in Lancaster and Morecambe in the run up to Christmas.
On Sundays between 28th November and 26th December there will be free parking at all of Lancaster City Council’s pay and display car parks in Lancaster and Morecambe.
There will also be free parking for anyone coming into Lancaster to enjoy late night Thursday shopping.
From 25th November until 23rd December all of the city council’s car parks will be free to use after 6.00pm and until 8.00am the following morning.
Marketgate Car Park in Lancaster is also providing the same free parking arrangements at Christmas.
Coun Stuart Langhorn, Cabinet member with responsibility for property services, said: “This concession is designed to support local retailers and our local economy by making it less costly for visitors and local people to take advantage of the late night shopping and Sunday shopping facilities offered in the run up to Christmas.”
Just make sure you don't Park earlier than 6pm or they sting you for £10. This happened to me on the light up Lancaster weekend. Travelled a 80 mile round trip and visited a few shops before the display. Expected to pay the £2:70 but what they do is trick you into a £10 charge. Not a great way to do business and as you can see from the lack of market stalls in the marketgate ie not one! They are killing the City with this dick turpin approach.
