Northampton Council have announced that they are launching free parking in their multi-storey car parks on weekends on a new program to entice more shoppers. At St John’s, St Michael’s, Grosvenor and Mayorhold car parks, car users will be able to park free for up to two hours on Saturdays and Sundays. However, free parking on Sundays and Bank Holidays will still continue across all car parks in Northampton.
Councillor David Mackintosh of Northampton Borough Council stated “And we hope that this free parking initiative will also encourage new visitors to come to the town, and regular visitors to spend more time in Northampton, enjoying the great shops, cafés, restaurants and tourist attractions located in and around the town’s Cultural Quarter.” he also said, ““Residents and businesses have told us time and again that they wanted to see more free parking and a simpler offer.”
