Shoppers will be able to enjoy free parking at selected times in Lancaster and Morecambe in the run up to Christmas.
The initiative, agreed following consultation with the Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) in Lancaster and Morecambe, aims to boost footfall and encourage residents to shop local during the busy festive period.
The offer is available in all of Lancaster City Council’s town centre car parks, including the St Nics multi-storey, which is now open until 11pm.
The offer will be on Sundays between and including November 29 and December 20.
Parking will be free after 3pm on Thursday, December 17, and again every day from 3pm from December 21-24.
The free parking offer does not include on street parking, the Marketgate car park, or any other private facilities in either Lancaster or Morecambe.
David Waddington, Chair of Morecambe BID, said: "The run up to Christmas is an incredibly important period of trade for our retailers, so it's great that shoppers can be incentivised with free parking.
‘’For Morecambe, it will coincide with our popular Festive Christmas Market on Saturday 19th December, a great opportunity to pick up gifts and enjoy the seasonal spirit!"
