Christmas shoppers will be able to park for free in the evenings of December 5, 12 and 19. The charge will be lifted from 4pm until the following morning, when charges will resume as usual. Parking will also be free all day on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Hastings Borough Council’s parking services manager said: “We hope that the free parking will encourage more people into Hastings to do their Christmas shopping, and see the great things our local businesses have to offer. We love to see our town busy and thriving over the Christmas period and this free parking should help us see this once again this year.”
