For the next two Saturdays in the lead up to Christmas, on December13 and 20, motorists using off street car parks in Battle, Bexhill, Little Common and Rye will not need to purchase and display a ticket or permit. “This is an important time of year for our local businesses and we hope that by waiving car parking fees, Christmas shoppers will support their local shops,” said Councillor Carl Maynard, leader of Rother District Council. “While we are facing financial pressures, we feel it important to offer as much support as possible to local businesses and offer a goodwill gesture to our residents.” Parking rules, including time limits on spaces, will still apply and anyone not complying will still be liable for the standard charge.
