Visitors to Rotherham will soon benefit from 1000 free weekend parking
spaces in the town centre.
From Saturday 6 April, parking will be free on Saturdays in the Drummond
Street and Wellgate Multi-storey car parks – as well as on Forge Island.
Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs and the Local Economy, Cllr
Denise Lelliott, said: “More permanent free parking at weekends will
help shoppers and businesses alike.
“Shopping and spending leisure time in the town centre, including at the
many cafés and restaurants, gives a vital boost to local businesses. If
everyone spent just a few pounds locally each week, it would make a huge
difference to Rotherham’s businesses.”
It’s also worth remembering that, as well as free weekend parking,
parking is free for up to two hours on weekdays in the “red zone” in the
Forge Island and Drummond Street car parks (a ticket is required).
