Monmouthshire County Council has agreed to support local retailers by providing free parking on the three Saturdays leading up to Christmas. The council’s cabinet met today (Wednesday 1st December) and approved a recommendation that all car parking charges in council car parks in Monmouth, Abergavenny and Chepstow be waived on 4th, 11th and 18th December.
The Cabinet Member for Finance and Performance Improvement, Councillor Phil Murphy said: “Providing free car parking for the three Saturdays before Christmas throughout Monmouthshire will reduce car park income by approximately £17,000. But this will more than be offset by the benefits to local business. We are proud to offer the incentive for local shoppers to make the most of the county’s main retail centres and their exceptional choice and value.”
