10p parking promotion returns to Magherafelt

This month sees the return of the Christmas parking promotion in Magherafelt town from Saturday, November 25.

Parking in Rainey Street and Union Road car parks will be reduced to 10p for the first three hours in a special price reduction running until Saturday, January 6.

Council-owned car parks in Dungannon will also benefit from the promotion.

Chair of the Council, Councillor Dominic Molloy, said the promotion will benefit both shoppers and town centre traders at one of the busiest times of the year.

“Christmas is by far one of the busiest times of the year for town centres, but it can also add to the financial pressures that many of us are feeling at this time of year. With 10p parking we want to make Christmas shopping easy, accessible and affordable for those who are supporting our local economy, shops and traders. Reduced parking will help our residents take time and enjoy what our town centres have to offer this Christmas, without the worry of costly parking.”

The 10p for the first three hours parking applies in all Council owned pay and display car parks in Magherafelt. Normal parking charges will apply after the three hours.
