Saturday 1st December is Small Business Saturday. This annual government-backed national campaign highlights our wonderful local, small businesses. NFDC town carparks will be free of charge all day. Car parks will also be free of charge on 23 and 24 December to encourage Christmas shoppers to stay local and support the New Forest’s many independent businesses, producers and artisans.
Councillor Heron said: “By offering free parking in our car parks on four days in the run up to the festive period, we are aiming to encourage residents and visitors to make the most of the wide range of quality, independent retailers and makers that we have in our district. This is one of the ways the council, and consumers, can continue to support a vibrant, resilient local economy.”
We really are fortunate in Lymington to have a great range of small, independent shops who stock a brilliant range of products at highly reasonable prices. Let us all support them in the run up to Christmas!
