Redbridge Council has doubled the amount of time drivers can park for free on the borough’s high streets from 30 minutes to one hour.
“This will be a real boost for our high streets and help revitalise the local economy whilst making sure there is still a good level of turnover in parking bays – giving as many people as possible the opportunity to use parking spaces to pop to the shops,” said Councillor Jas Athwal.
Motorists can activate the free on-street parking via the Ringo app or at an upgraded pay and display machine.
