Residents to get free short-stay parking at Market Street

Denbighshire County Council is to provide free short-stay parking for local residents in the Market Street car park.

The move was agreed on Thursday and came as the result of a request from the area's two county councillors, Graham Timms and Melvyn Mile.

They have been asking for the concession since last year when 12 on-street parking places on Castle Street were removed to provide extra space for social distancing and active travel in the centre of the town.

In a joint statement they say: "We are delighted that Denbighshire have agreed to our request for free parking places  in the Market Street car park for local shoppers. 

"We heard on Thursday that around a dozen free places would be provided for short-stay parking for local shoppers in the central Market Street car park.

"This is great news for local pop- and-shop residents who live on the outskirts of the town and the local traders whose customers  will find it easier to support them.

"The extra free parking is likely to begin during May to support people who shop locally throughout the busy summer tourist season."
