Free parking extended in East Suffolk
It's for those working at vaccination centres
To support the Covid-19 vaccination programme, East Suffolk Council will continue to offer free parking for healthcare staff working in vaccination centres across East Suffolk.
During the emergency response period, a Government scheme enabled NHS workers, health and social care staff and NHS Volunteer Responders to access parking concessions in council-owned car parks and on-street parking bays.
This national scheme will expire today (21 June), however, East Suffolk Council will continue to provide free parking for vaccination staff and volunteers until the full easing of current restrictions, currently expected to be 19 July 2021.
Cllr Norman Brooks, East Suffolk's cabinet member for Transport said:
"The rollout of the vaccination programme across the country has been incredible and we want to continue to support healthcare staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly to deliver vaccinations to East Suffolk residents."
