Motorists in Nantwich will enjoy free car parking as part of a new initiative by Cheshire East Council.
From August 5, parking on the Snow Hill car park next to Nantwich Pool will be free of charge from 3pm each day.
It’s one of seven car parks across the Cheshire East borough to be included in the “Free after Three” initiative.
Cheshire East has introduced the changes in a bid to support businesses and encourage more people to visit their local town or village centre.
Other car parks include Whalley Hayes in Macclesfield; Christchurch, in Crewe; South Street, in Alderley Edge; Back Park Street, in Congleton; Spring Street, in Wilmslow; and Princess Street in Knutsford.
Cllr David Topping, Cabinet member in charge of the environment, said: “I am pleased to announce this initiative, which is designed to help our businesses during what I realise are difficult trading conditions on the high street.
“We also want residents to have the opportunity to spend time in their local town or village centres without having to pay for parking.
“The Whalley Hayes car park, in Macclesfield, has been very busy since we introduced this and I do hope businesses will gradually be able to notice a difference.”
“Free after Three” will be reviewed after six months.
Revised charges for Snow Hill will be displayed on the tariff boards and/or next to pay-and-display machines.
