Crewe Parking Incentive

Free parking after 12pm on Saturdays is being offered until Easter in Crewe town centre as part of a package of initiatives to encourage more shoppers and visitors to the town.

Cheshire East Council is lifting charges at all nine of its Crewe town centre car parks from noon on each Saturday between February 4 and April 15, inclusive.

The parking incentive is part of a package of initiatives devised by Crewe Town Centre Working Group to support retailers and increase footfall in the town.

The car parks included are:

• Victoria Centre (Asda) – 482 spaces;
• Oak Street – 127 spaces;
• Chester Street – 109 spaces;
• Wrexham Terrace – 102 spaces;
• Delamere Street – 99 spaces;
• Civic Centre (beneath the former Library) – 90 spaces;
• Gatefield Street – 63 spaces;
• Lyceum Square – 60 spaces;
• Holly Bank – 45 spaces

The free parking incentive will be monitored and evaluated to assess its effectiveness in increasing footfall within the town and the benefits seen by businesses.

Councillor Stockton added: "In addition to this parking incentive, work is ongoing to improve the overall shopping environment of the town centre and a number of initiatives have already been undertaken, including a 'deep clean' of the pedestrianised area and the installation of colourful window vinyls in some of the shop units that are not currently occupied."
