Harrogate Borough Council has announced that it has scrapped parking charges for lockdown.
The council said it will help NHS staff, key workers, essential businesses and those that need it at a difficult time.
It applies to off-street parking only and will be in force from tomorrow until December 2. Across the Harrogate district there are 33 car parks which will all be affected by the move.

In Harrogate, it will mean that it is now free to park at West Park Long Stay Multi-Storey, Victoria and Jubilee car parks.
Harrogate Borough Council also scrapped the same off-street parking charges in the first coronavirus lockdown.
Parking charges and enforcement will still be in place for on-street parking to prevent issues with traffic management. North Yorkshire County Council, which controls on-street parking, will keep exceptions for NHS and care workers as well as coronavirus support volunteers.
