Salford residents and visitors are set to benefit from free parking at selected pay and display car parks in the lead up to Christmas.

On Saturdays in December, shoppers are being encouraged to explore Salford’s shopping centres, restaurants, cafés, and landmarks with a series of incentives.

Saturday, 7 December, is Small Business Saturday, and the council will use social media to encourage people to shop with local small businesses.

Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said: “We’re proud to continue supporting our local businesses and communities this festive season.”

“By offering free parking at selected council-run car parks, we hope to encourage people to shop local, enjoy Salford’s fantastic offerings, and make the most of the run-up to Christmas.”

The car parks included are:

Hankinson Way, Salford
John William Street, Eccles
St Mary’s Road, Eccles
Corporation Road, Eccles
Irwell Place, Eccles
Partington Street, Monton
Church Street, Swinton

Notices will be posted at these locations.

All other conditions of use, such as parking within marked bays and displaying a Blue Badge if applicable, remain in place.
