Cllr Steve Campkin, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Climate, Environment and Transport said: “With the continued impact of the cost of living it has been another tough year for many. Every saving helps so I’m pleased that we are able to offer free parking in Ashford and Tenterden in the run up to Christmas.
“The added advantage is that buying locally helps to support our town centre shops and those who work in them, in turn helping to boost our local economy.”
