CAR parking charges are being axed at five Caerphilly council-owned country parks.
The county borough council’s cabinet agreed yesterday to remove the existing pay and display fees in five of the authority’s country parks.
This follows on from a recent decision to extend free parking at council-owned car parks in towns across the county borough until the end of March.
That move is intended, to support key workers and to encourage residents to shop local.
It is being stressed by the council however, that people must continue to follow the current restrictions governing travel to take exercise, and the new fee-free parking arrangements should only be made the most of after the rules have been eased or removed.
