Pershore remains popular

Pershore remains popular with shoppers and visitors with the help of a low cost car parking initiative.

That’s the conclusion from recent statistics which show that the level of car parking in the town’s central car park during January remained at a similar level compared with the previous year despite the start to the Pershore High Street Improvement works.

Nearly 5,000 motorists have already taken advantage of a car parking concession which provides up to 3 hours parking on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays for only 10 pence at the central High Street car park.

Cllr Tom McDonald, Wychavon’s spokesperson for Regeneration, said: “I am delighted that the combination of a wide range of quality independent shops, Number 8, plus the competitive car parking price has proved to be a success. It has so far helped to overcome some of the short-term inconvenience created by the roadworks. I hope more people will take advantage of the offer over the coming weeks.”

The car parking concession has been funded by a partnership including Pershore market Town Partnership, Pershore Town Council and Wychavon District Council and will remain in place during High Street roadworks.
