This incentive, run in council car parks across Sussex, is supposed to encourage people to support local shops and businesses on high streets in towns in the area.

Free parking will be offered in off-street car parks on Saturdays in the run-up to Christmas 2023 in the Arun district and in select car parks in the Rother district.

Hastings Borough Council has just announced its free Christmas parking incentive which gives shoppers free parking on evenings in the final week before the big day.

Shoppers will be able to park for free in Hastings council car parks from Monday, December 18 until Saturday, December 23 between 4pm and 9pm each evening.

This free parking coincides with the late-night shopping at Priory Meadow Shopping Centre to help support local businesses in the area.

Parking will also be free at all council car parks in Hastings on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day to enable people to visit family and friends, eat out or enjoy some fresh air. Normal parking charges will restart the following morning.

Councillor Ali Roark, lead for environment at Hastings Borough Council, said: “We are delighted to be helping support local businesses by providing free parking in our car parks over the festive period, making it easier and cheaper for residents and visitors to enjoy all the fantastic shops and restaurants in the town centre and Old Town.

“Whether you are shopping for gifts for your family or friends or looking for Christmas treats for yourself, you will be sure to find something unique to purchase.”
