SHOPPERS in the Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire district council areas can take advantage of free parking in the run-up to Christmas.
People in Abingdon and Faringdon can park free of charge in council car parks on Saturday, November 28, and in Wantage on Saturday, December 5.
In Didcot, shoppers will be able to park free of charge every Tuesday in December, while the offer will apply to Wallingford shoppers on Thursdays, and on Saturdays in Thame.
Vale cabinet member for technical services Eric Batts said: “The free parking tradition gives people a good incentive to hunt for presents locally.
“The free days in the Vale also coincide with local Christmas celebrations.”
SODC’s cabinet member for economic development Robert Simister added: “Traditional free Christmas parking is always very popular in South Oxfordshire.
“This year people can park for free all day. Hopefully many people will take advantage of this, to do their shopping locally, and enjoy a meal at one of our independent cafes or restaurants.”
