These free parking days coincide with the Christmas lights switch-on and Small Business Saturday.
Why it matters
The initiative is intended to increase footfall into Christchurch and support local businesses during the festive period. BCP Council required over £6,000 recompense for lost parking fees, which was covered by the town council and PP Printing.
