Free parking in Erewash this Christmas

Residents will once again be able to park for free as they do their Christmas shopping in Erewash this year – thanks to Erewash Borough Council’s festive Free Parking Scheme.

The Council has confirmed this week that its car parks will be free from Friday 16th December to Monday 2nd January inclusive between the busy ‘shopping hours’ of 9.30am-6pm.

The free parking is aimed at giving a welcome boost to traders and shoppers in Erewash during the run-up to Christmas and over the holiday season.

Councillor Barbara Harrison, Erewash Borough Council’s Lead Member for the Environment, says:

“We are delighted to announce that our free parking scheme will take place again this year. We know it is especially important in the current economic climate and the news will be warmly welcomed by the borough’s residents and traders alike.

“This Council remains committed to promoting business in Erewash and to helping our Long Eaton and Ilkeston town centres thrive. We have excellent markets and shops in both towns and villages across the borough – we hope the provision of free parking in our car parks will encourage even more people to shop locally and support their community.”

Drivers should note that the free parking is aimed at shoppers and any vehicles parked before 9.30am are subject to a pay and display charge. Long Eaton Railway Station commuter’s car park is not included in the scheme.
