THERE’S good news for shoppers as the annual free parking period for Christmas is returning in Tralee.
Parking will be free from 1pm in all areas where pay and display currently operates, both on-street and in Kerry County Council car parks.
This will be effective from Monday, December 3 to Saturday, January 5, 2018 inclusive. People are encouraged to park responsibly.
I am willing to bet Kerry County Council runs a financial deficit for its parking system. If not we are being ripped off.
But, never mind that.
If the traditional business town centres ever want to compete for business with the suburban shopping centres, Kerry County Council has to introduce total free parking. I bet it would work out just fine and business in the town centre would vastly improve.
Why not, just for one years!
