Kilmarnock all set for free Saturday parking
05 Apr 2012 15:40:45
From Saturday 14 April a free parking trial will be introduced in Kilmarnock town centre.
The trial, which will run until Saturday 9 June, will mean that shoppers and visitors to the town can use all Council run car parks and on-street parking in the town centre for free on Saturdays.
Elizabeth Morton, Depute Chief Executive and Executive Director of Neighbourhood Services said: “There is a considerable cost attached to the trial, we are hoping that free parking will improve Saturday trading for our local retailers. We have a wealth of independent retailers and traders, a good mix of large national retailers and of course great quality restaurants and cafés; there really is something for everyone within our town centre.”
It is important to note that parking will be free of charge but all other restrictions will apply including maximum stay restrictions within short stay car parks and on-street parking to ensure turnover of spaces and allow as many people as possible to enjoy visiting the town centre.
