FREE CAR PARKING OVER THE JUBILEE BANK HOLIDAY

Cheshire East Council has announced that it will suspend all car parking charges for two days in celebration of the Queen`s Diamond Jubilee.

All the Council`s car parks across the whole Borough will be free for users over the extended bank holiday, from 8am on Monday June 4th, to 8am on Wednesday June 6th.

Councillor Rod Menlove, Cabinet member with responsibility for environmental services, said: “Cheshire East Council has taken this decision to ensure that party-goers can concentrate on enjoying themselves for the whole celebration, rather than worrying about if their ticket has expired.

“We want people to enjoy themselves as much as possible during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Ed: Fantastic news for the supermarkets and national restaurant and cafe chains. Sadly, it won`t do much to help the independent retailers who`ll all be closed for the bank holiday.
