Visitors and shoppers to Bodmin will be able to park for free in several town centre car parks from Monday 12 September.

Cornwall Council and Bodmin Town Council have offered the concession to help encourage people to visit the town centre during construction of Building a Better Bodmin.

Made up of 12 separate schemes, Building a Better Bodmin is a series of highway improvements to regenerate the town centre, improve traffic flows and safety for people walking and cycling and connecting Bodmin with the Camel Trail and cycle hubs at Lanhydrock and Cardinham Woods.
