To celebrate the festive season and support local businesses, Rochford District Council is announcing free parking on the three Saturdays in December, leading up to Christmas at all council-owned car parks.

The free Saturday parking initiative aims to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy Rochford’s vibrant shopping areas and take advantage of the seasonal activities on offer. The free parking dates are:

• Saturday 7 December 2024

This effort is designed to make holiday shopping more convenient and enjoyable, while also boosting foot traffic for local retailers and eateries.
