Car parks operated by Wokingham Borough Council are offering free parking on selected dates in the coming weeks to help boost local retail businesses over the festive period.

December dates for free parking are 11, 18, 25, 26, 27 and 28, while an extra two dates have been added in January this year, on the 1 and 3.

Council owned car parks included in this offer are:

Wokingham - Carnival Pool Multi Storey, Cockpit Path, Denmark Street, Easthampstead Road (East and West), Rose Street, Shute End

Woodley - Crockhamwell Road, Headley Road and Lytham Road (East and West)

Twyford - Polehampton Close

Wargrave - School Lane

Councillor Pauline Jorgensen, executive member for highways and transport, said:

“We have a great range of independent and chain shops, restaurants and bars in the borough and we are helping people to access them and see what we have to offer by providing free parking.”

The council say users of the car park should note that all restrictions, such as maximum stays, parking in the right bays and ‘no return’ times still apply so that people get fair access to the free spaces.
