FREE parking will be available in Llangollen during the build up up Christmas.

Denbighshire Council has confirmed that its festive free parking initiative will be returning from November 21 until December 31, in order to encourage more people to use their local high street for shopping in the run up to Christmas and New Year.

Free parking will be available in council operated car parks in area, which includes Hall Street, Market Street and Mill Street, from 3pm every day.

Cllr Brian Jones, lead member for waste, transport and the environment at Denbighshire Council, said: "The Free After Three parking initiative has been established now for a number of years and complements our 'Love, Live, Local' campaign to encourage more people to use our high streets for their festive shopping.

"We understand it has been a difficult time for businesses and we are encouraging shoppers to use this opportunity.

"There are a wealth of independent shops and businesses county-wide that offer a wide range of goods and services.

"We also want to remind residents of the two hour free parking scheme we introduced in the summer to help businesses struggling with the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak.

"With our two free parking initiatives, we hope more people will come into our towns to see what they have to offer.

"I’m sure they won’t be disappointed."
