Maidenhead & Windsor

Maidenhead residents are enjoying more free evening car parking from this week as two more town centre car parks offer free parking for residents with yellow Advantage Cards after 7pm.

From Monday (April 7) motorists using Hines Meadow and the Nicholson's car parks have been able to park for free after 7pm – compared with the £1 tarriff previously applied.

The latest two evening "recruits" join the Maidenhead Town Hall car park – where parking is free after 5pm – and Grove Road, West Street and Stafferton Way car parks which already offer resident cardholders the benefit of free parking after 7pm.

Windsor and Maidenhead Residents parking before 7pm can still take advantage of the free evening parking when they purchase their discounted tariff up to 7pm to avoid having to return to their car.

To claim their free parking, Advantage Card holders simply insert their cards into the ticket machines and are issued with a ticket which should be displayed in the windscreen of their car.

Free evening parking also applies in Alma Road, Alexandra Gardens, Home Park, King Edward V11, Romney Lock, Victoria and York House car parks in Windsor.

Cllr David Burbage, leader of the Windsor and Maidenhead council, said: "We are delighted that we have been able to expand the free evening parking in two more Maidenhead town centre car parks.

"By doing so we are ensuring that as many residents as possible can benefit from the excellent town centre facilities in the evenings without having to worry about the additional cost of parking for their evening out.

"There are more than 60,000 current Advantage Card holders in the borough, many of whom would potentially benefit from this scheme."

Free parking is available to Advantage Card holders – to apply for a card call 01628 796252 or email advantage@rbwm.gov.uk for more information.
