Cheaper parking in Woking 

Cheaper parking in Woking

The Lib Dems running Woking Borough Council have made it cheaper to park Woking town centre.

From today, visitors can pay for two hours parking in Victoria Place car park and enjoy a third hour for a free - that's three hours for just £3 - with further savings when staying up to five hours.

The decision to reduce car parking charges in the Victoria Square car park on Saturday's in September was made by the Council's Executive during its meeting in July. The aim is to support residents, local business and encourage visitors to stay longer and take advantage of the town centre's new retail and, importantly, leisure offerings.

Lib Dem Councillor Dale Roberts, the Portfolio Holder for Economic Development and Finance at the Council, said:

"Our town centre offers much more than an excellent retail experience. It is becoming a destination for leisure, dining, events and much more. I am delighted that we are able to trial cheaper Saturday parking for visitors to Victoria Place."  

"We must support the continued post-pandemic economic recovery of the town and our residents' changing needs during the cost of living challenges to ensure a thriving and vibrant town centre."

"By offering reduced car parking rates, we want to encourage visitors to stay longer and take advantage of Woking's fantastic shopping, dining and leisure experiences, such as the region's largest theatre and newly renovated cinema complex."
