PARKING charges and parking zone restrictions have been lifted around Cornwall to support key workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cornwall Council has suspended charges at all its car parks until the end of April, when the situation will be reviewed.
Councillor Geoff Brown, portfolio holder for transport, said: ’We need residents to stay at home and stay safe, now is not the time for anyone to worry about parking charges and issues associated with coin handling.
We also want to make it as easy as possible for essential workers to get to and from work and removing parking charges is one way in which we can support them during this critical time.
It is really important, however, that people always remember to park considerately and continue to follow government guidance about avoiding any unnecessary travel.’
