Ribble Valley offers free car park parking on Saturdays before Christmas
Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 12:33 · Archive
Ribble Valley Borough Council will offer free parking on four car parks on Saturdays in the run-up to Christmas. The scheme covers Clitheroe Market, Railway View and Lowergate in Clitheroe, and Barclay Road in Longridge. Free parking will be available on 28 November, 5 December, 12 December and 19 December from 9.30am for any length of time.
The council said it has 'long provided' free parking over previous Christmas periods, a practice it is continuing this year. The inclusion of 28 November, when the Clitheroe Christmas Market takes place, was approved following a change made last year.
The 9.30am start time was chosen to prevent the car parks being 'clogged up' by local businesses, ensuring they remain available for visitors and shoppers. The council's community services committee also approved improvement works to car parks across the area, including replacing a damaged height barrier at Greenside car park in Ribchester and obtaining prices for relining work on several other car parks in Clitheroe.
