Traders in Monmouthshire have received a boost after the council announced it will offer free parking in the run-up to Christmas. Monmouthshire County Council has announced it will provide free parking to shoppers every weekend in December.
The offer, which has run for the previous two years, will apply to all council-owned car parks and is aimed at increasing support local businesses and encouraging more people to shop in Monmouthshire. It will begin from Saturday, December 3, and council car parks in the scheme are in Abergavenny, Chepstow, and Monmouth.
The council has also announced it will be offering free journeys on all of its buses at weekends throughout December in a bid to encourage people to use public transport over the festive period. The Welsh Government-funded offer will be open to passengers for any journey with a start point and end point within Monmouthshire.
