Church-goers and carers will be able to park for free under a new town centre charging system approved for popular tourist destination North Berwick.
The East Lothian town will become the first in the county to introduce parking charges across three separate zones which could bring in more than £1million in annual revenue for the local authority.
A meeting of East Lothian Councillors approved the proposals which will see residents pay for a £40 annual parking permit and charges of between 50p to £5 for visitors to the town during the day.
