Motorists can enjoy free parking on 26 Stoke-on-Trent car parks today. Stoke-on-Trent City Council is offiering the free parking across Hanley, Stoke, Burslem, Tunstall, Fenton, Longton, and Meir on the last two Saturdays before Christmas.
The offer applies to council-run surface-level car parks – and not on-street parking.
Councillor Amjid Wazir, cabinet member for city pride, said: “Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes more footfall into our towns and city – and not just for Christmas shopping. Plenty of festive events are happening in town centres and it is a time when people come together to meet up. Take the opportunity to support your local high street this Christmas.”
