Free After Three Christmas parking scheme launched

* Market Street, Llangollen is one of the local car parks included in Free After Three until December 31.

As part of its annual #lovelivelocal campaign, Denbighshire County Council will once again be offering free parking in its car parks after 3pm until December 31.

The #lovelivelocal campaign encourages more people to shop locally and support local traders and businesses, and the council’s ‘Free After Three’ initiative will provide free parking in most council-run car parks, including four in Llangollen.

The campaign aims to encourage people to spend their money in Denbighshire, whilst encouraging shoppers and businesses to use their social media channels to share their positive experiences using the #lovelivelocal hashtag – the more people are out and about doing their shopping, and telling everyone about it, the better the atmosphere for everyone as Christmas approaches.

Car parks included in the initiative are:

Llangollen: East Street, Hall Street, Market Street, Mill Street

Corwen: Green Lane car park

Denbigh: Barkers Well Lane car park, Crown Lane car park, Factory Ward, Post Office Lane, Vale Street

Prestatyn: King's Avenue, Lower High Street, Prestatyn railway station

Rhuddlan: Parliament Street

Rhyl: Central, Morley Road, Rhyl library (disabled bays only), Rhyl railway station, Sky Tower car park, Rhyl Town Hall, West Kinmel Street. Morfa Hall private car park, Rhyl, is not included in the initiative.

Ruthin: Crispin Yard (Cae Ddol), Dog Lane, Market Street, Park Road, Rhos Street, St Peter's Square, Troed y Rhiw

St Asaph: Bowling Green

Cllr Barry Mellor, lead member for environment and transport, said: “Free After Three has proved popular in previous years because it is a great scheme that enables residents to support their local communities, and every little helps with the current cost of living issues faced by all of us.

“We hope that everyone supports our local high streets and back our businesses, especially in the run-up to Christmas and take full advantage of the benefits of the scheme by using the county’s town centre car parks free of charge.”
