Cllr Brian Jones, Lead Member for Waste, Transport and the Environment said: “We are very pleased to be able to offer the ‘Free After Three’ parking initiative for another year.

“Communities need our support this year more than ever, so we hope that people and businesses take full advantage of the benefits of this scheme by using the county’s town centre car parks free of charge.

“The free after three scheme supports the council’s on-going #LoveLiveLocal campaign which highlights the importance of shopping local.

“We hope that this scheme encourages more people visit our town centres and see what they have to offer. Denbighshire businesses offer a wide variety of products and services which appeal to all.

"Together lets #LoveLiveLocal and support our communities.”
