Shoppers offered festive parking discount to support local trade
Shoppers heading into Worthing town centre this festive season can enjoy a huge 40 per cent saving on all-day parking every Friday and Saturday.
Worthing town centre is rolling out a generous festive parking discount, hoping to boost local businesses during the crucial holiday shopping period. Starting this week, shoppers can enjoy a substantial 40 per cent reduction on all-day parking charges every Friday and Saturday leading up to Christmas.
The initiative aims to encourage residents and visitors alike to choose Worthing for their Christmas shopping needs, rather than venturing to larger out-of-town retail parks or online platforms. Local businesses often rely heavily on the festive season for a significant portion of their annual revenue, and this discount is designed to provide a much-needed boost during challenging economic times.
Worthing Borough Council hopes the reduced parking fees will make shopping in the town centre more attractive and affordable. By lowering the cost of parking, they aim to remove a key barrier that might deter people from spending time and money in the local shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The 40 per cent discount applies to all-day parking within designated council-owned car parks in Worthing town centre. Shoppers are advised to check local signage for participating car parks and any specific terms and conditions that may apply. The council encourages everyone to take advantage of the offer and support the vibrant community of independent retailers and established businesses that make Worthing unique.
"We understand that parking costs can be a concern, especially during the busy Christmas period," a council spokesperson said. "This discount is our way of saying thank you to our residents and visitors for choosing to shop local. We hope it will encourage more people to explore Worthing's fantastic range of shops and enjoy the festive atmosphere."
The festive parking discount is expected to be in place until the last weekend before Christmas, giving shoppers ample opportunity to take advantage of the savings and support their local economy. So, ditch the online shopping cart and head down to Worthing this Friday or Saturday to grab a bargain and spread some festive cheer.
