Free parking is available for shoppers on the College car parks throughout August.
As the car parks off St Paul’s Street and Feilden Street are not being used to their full capacity throughout August, the College and Blackburn with Darwen Council have agreed that shoppers and visitors can take advantage of the spaces available.
There will be no cost and motorists have been assured that they will not be clamped as long as they park properly within the marked bays.
The college car parks have always been free on Saturdays for shoppers and visitors to use.
Normally clamping will apply during the week from September when the College reopens.
Councillor Alan Cottam, executive member for regeneration and environment, said: “This is a temporary solution to the current car parking issues in the town centre which businesses have raised. The college gesture is also a piece of a bigger jigsaw we are working on. Work is already underway on the Feilden Street car park which is due to be completed by Christmas.”
