Shoppers in Hinckley will be able to take advantage of free weekend parking in the run up to Christmas. Visitors will be able to park in selected car parks in the town for free on the four Saturdays in the run up to December 25, in addition to the standard free parking on Sundays.
The parking will be available in Lower Bond Street, Trinity West and Castle car parks, Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council has said. Shoppers will also be able to park in the North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC) car park, accessed from Druid Street, for free.
The move is “to thank shoppers for their loyalty and to increase trade for shops and businesses”, the authority added. Free parking will be in place from 9am on December 2, 9, 16 and 23. Sunday parking is already free in all council-run car parks throughout the year.

Council Leader Stuart Bray said: “We continue to recognise the financial challenges this Christmas everyone is facing but hope that this free parking offer will urge residents to support their local high street, market and hospitality venues if they can. My thanks also to NWSLC for opening their car park to shoppers.”
