Durham County Council has announced it will once again offer free parking after 3pm in its car parks this festive season.
The local authority’s Free After 3pm scheme will return on Monday, December 16, and run through to Friday, January 4.
The aim is to encourage people to shop on their local high streets and to visit the county’s hospitality venues this Christmas.
The scheme will be in operation at local authority car parks, with the exception of Hardwick Park, Wharton Park, Chester-le-Street Riverside Park, Noses Point in Seaham and on-street pay and display bays.
