Councillor Durkin, Cabinet Member for Roads and Regulatory Services, said:
“Christmas is one of the busiest and most important times of the year for local people and businesses, and it is also sees a very high demand for parking. Each year, the council works with Town Councils and the Hereford City BID, to provide free parking at the most beneficial time for local businesses, and we are delighted to continue this support.
“I hope that residents will make the most of the free parking to support their local businesses and communities over the festive period.”
