Dover District Council is supporting Small Business Saturday for the third year running by offering free parking in DDC off-street car parks all day on Saturday 5 December 2015.
Small Business Saturday is designed to raise the profile of small businesses across the UK. As part of the initiative, DDC will be offering free car parking in all its off-street car parks on 5 December. Charges will still apply on-street, and at car parks not owned by DDC, including Sainsbury's and Co-op car parks in Deal.
Cllr Nigel Collor, DDC Cabinet Member for Access, said: "We are delighted to support Small Business Saturday again this year. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our town centres, and we are very pleased to support this initiative. DDC parking charges are already amongst the lowest in East Kent, and our charging period is amongst the shortest in the area. We hope that people working in the town will park where they usually do to allow potential customers to take advantage of this offer of free parking for the day."
