SHOPPERS in Brighouse will be able to park for free on Saturdays in the run up to Christmas.

Throughout December, parking will be free in the Parsonage Lane car park, as well as other selected car parks in Calderdale.

All car parks offering free parking will have notices displayed to remind people. Any car parks or on street bays without a notice will be subject to normal charges.

Calderdale Council’s Councillor Jenny Lynn, said: “As December is traditionally the busiest time of year for our local businesses, we’re offering free parking in a number of our car parks on Saturdays throughout the month.

“After missing out on events last year, our market towns, as well as our village centres, have some wonderfully festive activities planned. As always, we want to encourage people to shop locally and with so many wonderful businesses on our doorstep there’s lots of reasons to enjoy a Calderdale Christmas this year.”
