Afternoon of free parking to encourage shoppers into Hereford

People will be able to park for free in Hereford on Saturday 12th February.

Parking will be absolutely free in all Council-owned car parks and on-street Pay & Display from 12pm.

Herefordshire Council's Cabinet member for infrastructure and transport, John Harrington said: “In the run up to Christmas each year, we grant several days of free parking to help residents save money and to promote our County as a place to visit local shops and leisure businesses. We consulted with key stakeholders at Hereford BID and the City Council, and this year they wanted something slightly different."

"Rather than the usual five late night shopping events at Christmas they were only three, with the others put towards this date in February – so we’re happy to offer this half-day of free parking in all Council-owned and on street Pay & Display car parks throughout the city, just in time for Valentine’s Day.”

Hereford Business Improvement District (BID) will be running their usual lover Hereford event.
