It's part of Small Business Saturday

It will be free to park in all Cornwall Council pay and display and pay on exit car parks, and to use the Truro Park and Ride today (Saturday 3 December).

It's thanks to Small Business Saturday, a national initiative now in its tenth year. It is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.

All Cornwall Council car parks are clearly branded, and there will be posters about the parking offer at charging points on the free parking day.

If the car park is one of the ‘pay on exit’ car parks, you should take a ticket from the entrance barrier as usual.

When leaving the car park, please insert your ticket into the machine by the exit barrier. If you have only parked on the free parking day, the barrier will open to allow you to exit.

If you have stayed for longer than the free parking day, any additional parking fee will need to be paid for before you drive up to the exit barrier.
