MOTORISTS will be able to park for free in parts of east Cleveland later this month.
Free parking will be available in Guisborough and Redcar from March 28 to April 2.
The six days of concessions will cover more than 1,000 parking spaces in the two towns, on-street and off-street, short stay and long stay.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's lead member for infrastructure, Councillor Sylvia Szintai, said: "We know it has not been easy for shops and businesses in Redcar because of work involving the new shopping centre. But the worst of the disruption is over and we think this will encourage more shoppers in over Easter.
"The same applies to Guisborough. It is always busy over the Easter weekend and we are sure these concessions will guarantee really good trading for everyone."
