New Forest shoppers will be able to take advantage of four free days of parking during December.

The District Council's approved plans for days without charges in the run-up to the festive season

It's all in effort to increase footfall in town centres like Fordingbridge and support local businesses.

There'll be no charges in Council-run car parks for Small Business Saturday on December 7th and the last weekend before Christmas (21st and 22nd December).

The other day can decided upon by each town or parish, to coincide with their own local festive events.

The scheme's been run across the New Forest for the last six years.
