3 hours free parking in Broxtowe car parks this December

Drivers will still need to obtain a valid ticket from parking ticket machines, or on the PayByPhone app, which will issue free tickets for the first 3 hours, with normal charges applying after this period.

Feedback from residents has been taken on board this year, with 3 hours free parking available throughout December 2026.

Portfolio Holder for Resources and Personnel, Councillor Greg Marshall, said, “Our Broxtowe high streets have some of the best independent shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars around – perfect for Christmas shopping, or festive celebrations with friends, family, or colleagues.

“This year, we’ve listened to residents who asked for a longer period of free parking, and so we’ve extended the initiative to cover the entire month of December. The aim is to give high street businesses that little extra boost this Christmas, but also to save an extra few pounds and pennies in the pockets of visitors.”

Support Broxtowe businesses and shop local this Christmas.

Please note parking charges still apply at Technology Drive and Station Road car parks. All other restrictions still apply, please see tariff boards for more information.
