Free parking for Christmas shoppers
Car parks in North Northamptonshire20 November 2024
North Northamptonshire Council will once again provide free parking in council-owned pay and display car parks this festive season.
As part of the Christmas festivities, and to support local businesses, NNC will be offering free parking in Kettering and Corby town centres on the following Saturdays:
- 7 December
- 14 December
- 21 December
Saturday 7 December is also Small Business Saturday, a campaign which encourages shoppers to shop local.
It has been a difficult couple of years for businesses and we’re always looking for ways to give them a helping hand, which is why we are delighted to be able to offer free parking in Kettering and Corby on Saturdays in the run up to Christmas.Cllr Matt Binley, the council’s Executive Member for Highways, Travel and Assets
Town centres across North Northants are packed full of independent stores all with wonderful gift ideas for the whole family. I would encourage everyone to take advantage of the free parking in council-owned carparks on the 3 Saturdays before Christmas and visit your local high street.Jason Smithers, Leader of the Council
The council’s Hi Street campaign will once again be bringing festive cheer to town centres this Christmas, where the campaign will be celebrating and supporting local businesses. Whether it’s finding the perfect present, enjoying a festive day out, or supporting your favourite independent shop, your support makes a big difference.
There is plenty to look forward to including a festive gift hunt where shoppers can win vouchers to spend with a variety of small businesses, an advertising campaign including a heart-warming new video, a window display competition for Thrapston’s Christmas Festival, support and promotion for this year’s Small Business Saturday campaign, and a Christmas special blog with BIPC Northamptonshire.
Stay up to date by following the Hi Street Facebook and Instagram, and on our Hi Street pages.
Parking arrangements remain in place in all other car parks across North Northants.
