Free festive parking in Whitby and Scarborough approved - here's where you can park in both towns

Plans are in place for the provision of free parking in the council’s town centre off-street car parks in Scarborough and Whitby in order to support the local economy.

Scarborough Council’s cabinet member for neighbourhoods, Cllr Tony Randerson, approved the plan for free parking in a decision on Tuesday November 15.

The authority has offered free parking ahead of Christmas in its off-street car parks since 1998.

Only the authority’s town centre off-street car parks in Scarborough and Whitby will be included in the provision which will be in place on selected Sundays from 11am-4pm and from 3pm on selected Thursdays.

In Scarborough, free parking will be available on Castle Road, Falconers Road, Friarsway, North Terrace, St Nicholas Parade, St Thomas Street, Victoria Road, Westwood and William Street.

In Whitby, free parking will be available on Church Street, Cliff Street, Marina Back, Marina Front, Endeavour Wharf, and St Hildas Terrace

The current plans state that free parking will be available on the following Thursdays and Sundays.
