PARKING ANNOUNCEMENT!
From Saturday 14th December to Sunday 5th January PARKING IS FREE after 10am on all Council Car Parks. This includes the Bus Station multistory which will be open for the Christmas period.
We hope this is going to bring footfall into the town centre and encourage people to Shop Local in Rochdale town centre.
For every £1 you spend with a local, independent business, between 50p-70p circulates back into your local economy. Shopping locally supports local traders, their suppliers and the people they depend upon to run their businesses. Buying locally boosts your local economy, rebuilding confidence in the community, enabling local businesses to grow.
Shopping out of town or online may save you a bit of time but for every £1 you spend only 5p trickles back into the local economy. When you shop with your independents you are doing “your bit” to keep your high street, town centre “open for business”.
Please make note that it is only Council Car Parks where the free parking after 10am applies. Beware of parking in River Street Car Park as some of the spaces belong to Monkhouse Schoolwear and not the council, for more information read this article from Rochdale Online. http://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/news-headlines/84271/beware-when-you-park-at-river-street-car-park
