CHRISTMAS shoppers will be able to park free of charge in Darlington town centre.
Councillors have agreed to free use of local authority car parks on planned late-night shopping dates.
The offer applies to the four Thursdays leading up to Christmas - November 29, and December 6, 13 and 20, from 4.30pm onwards.
In a bid to encourage more shoppers into the town centre during the late-night Thursdays, the Cornmill shopping centre is also offering the same concession.
Free parking will be available in the centre's car park, in Crown Street.
No charges will be made for parking in council car parks on Sundays.
