LEEDS Council has been urged to make car parking in the city centre free again after lockdown, in a bid to boost trade. The local authority scrapped charges for more than three months last year and later offered discounted parking when they were reintroduced during the summer. NHS staff and frontline social care workers are still entitled to free parking. But councillors have now suggested that the perk be reinstated for everyone to entice shoppers back to the high street, once the latest period of lockdown ends. The council said it was keeping the matter “under review” but hinted that financial constraints would make it difficult to do.
