Coventry City Council has announced that it will be giving an early present to shoppers visiting the city centre in the run up to Christmas by approving free car parking in the city centre.

The FREE parking offer will run for six weeks - from now until the last late night shopping before Christmas on Wednesday 17th December 2008.
Councillor Gary Ridley Cabinet Member (City Development) said;
"This Christmas there are many great reasons to bring the whole family to Coventry city centre for all your shopping needs. The traditional Christmas lights display in the precinct, entertainment, our award winning market which has just celebrated 50 years and of course the many great offers that will be available in city centre shops. Getting into the city centre could not be easier with both our free parking offer and some great deals if you want to hop on the bus instead. I am delighted that we are able to work with CV One and the City Centre BID to help give our city the Merry Christmas it deserves".
Andy Talbot, Centre Manager of West Orchards and Chair of the City Centre Business Improvement District (BID) confirmed, "This is great news for city centre businesses. Maximising Christmas visits is very important to all retail and leisure traders, and the BID is delighted to have once again reached an agreement with our Council colleagues on this".
Private car parks such as IKEA, Skydome, and Belgrade Plaza are excluded from this offer, as is the park in Salt Lane.
This promotion is jointly supported by Coventry City Council and Coventry City Centre Business Improvement District (BID)
