Free parking scheme announced to support local high street
Carlisle City Council’s free parking scheme has been extended to include festive Late Night Thursdays.
The council currently offers free parking every weekend and on bank holidays. Visitors to the city will also benefit from free parking after 3pm on the following Thursdays: 1, 8, 15 and 22 December.
The free parking scheme will be available in the following Carlisle City Council car parks: Bitts Park, Caldew Riverside; Castle; Civic Centre; Lowther Street; The Sands; Swifts Bank, Viaduct and West Walls.
The Free after 3pm scheme aims to support high street businesses in Carlisle by encouraging more visitors to park-up, stay local and shop local.
Carlisle City Cllr Nigel Christian, Portfolio holder for Environment and Transport, said:
“We need to do all we can to support the local high street and we hope that by providing free parking after 3pm in our city centre car parks on Late Night Thursdays, residents will choose Carlisle as their Christmas shopping venue.”
The car park barriers in Caldew Riverside, Castle and West Walls will close at 11.30pm on each Late Night Thursday.
If you are using West Walls Car Park check in/check out service on the Late Night Thursdays, ensure you check out by 3pm to take advantage of the free after 3pm offer.
