A LICHFIELD car park will remove charges at weekends in the run up to Christmas.
Lichfield District Council has confirmed the move at the Friary multi-storey facility.
It follows a free parking initiative last year which the local authority said helped to increase footfall by 32% in December 2024.
Visitors to Lichfield can benefit from free weekend car parking as Christmas approaches at the Friary Multi Storey car park.
The offer will be available on weekends from 30th November to 22nd December.
Charges will remain in place at other city centre car parks.
Just imagine how much more footfall could be increased if they hadn’t demolished the Birmingham Road multi-storey! It’s hard to find parking spaces anywhere in Lichfield on a Saturday whether free or paid.
The Ghost of Failed Friarsgate looms.
Wish I felt more positive.
It’s the Cart before the Horse Syndrome.
Ass/Elbow comes to mind too,
I think it just shows the price of car parking, does affect the footfall, if one car park increases the footfall by 32 percent I think it should of in 2023.
It shows parking charges are to high
Free at Ventura Park all day every day with a greater range of shops
