South Lakeland District Council has relaxed parking rules to help people using the flood relief centre in Kendal.
People using Blackhall Road car park on Saturdays are being allowed 30 minutes free parking when they visit the centre, run by the King’s Food Bank in the nearby Westmorland Shopping Centre, up to and including Sunday January 3 2016.
The Westmorland Centre Car Park is free to use on Saturday December 19 and Saturday December 26.
All SLDC pay-and-display car parks (except the Brewery, Kendal College, and Miller Bridge, Ambleside) are already free each Sunday throughout December.
