FREE 24 HOUR FESTIVE PARKING

Erewash Borough Council will once again offer 24-hour FREE parking in all its car parks, with the exception of Long Eaton Railway Station, over the busy festive season. The council has confirmed that its car parks will be free from Monday 11th December to Wednesday 27th December 2017 inclusive – an initiative aimed at giving a major boost for town centre traders and shoppers during the run-up to Christmas and over the festive break. Councillor Michael Powell, Erewash Borough Council’s Lead Member for Regeneration and Planning, says: “The Christmas free parking scheme remains a key part of our on-going drive to support our town centres and we know this good news will once again be warmly welcomed by traders, residents and visitors to the borough. We have excellent markets and shops in Ilkeston and Long Eaton - as well as local shops in villages across the borough - so we hope residents will use the free parking and shop locally to show their support this festive season.” All of the council’s car parks are part of the scheme, with the exception of the Long Eaton Railway Station commuters’ car park.
