Gill Neil on the "free after three" parking scheme
Mar 09, 2016, 11:34 AM
A decision on whether to continue free late afternoon parking in two Elgin multi-storey car parks has been deferred.
The initiative – which ran for seven months on a trial basis – will now form part of a much wider review of parking in the town.
The review was approved by councillors in December as part of plans to develop a parking strategy for Elgin.
The Free After 3 trial ran from June until January this year at the St Giles and Batchen Lane multi-storeys and followed a request from the Elgin Business Improvement District (BID) which believed it would help stimulate retail activity in the town centre.
