County Councillor David Blades, member for Romanby and Broomfield, said:

“This decision goes a long way to show our support for retailers on the High Street and residents who requested an extension to free parking to allow for more time to do their shopping."


County Councillor Don Mackenzie, Executive Member for Highways, added:

“The parking regime in Northallerton High Street has been a great success in encouraging a turnover of spaces and making it easier for drivers to find a parking space, resulting in less congestion. We must remember that parking charges in these towns are extremely low compared to other places."
