Free parking in Helston continues this Saturday as part of a bid to encourage shoppers in the run up to Christmas.

The scheme is being managed by the Helston Business Improvement Partnership (HBIP), which is spending £2,665.97 of its fund to pay Cornwall Council for the revenue it would otherwise miss out on.

Parking is free at the Trengrouse Way, the Trengrouse Way extension and Tyacke Road car parks.

The scheme has been running for the last two weeks and the parking will be free again this Saturday and on December 20.
