Winter parking promotion extended to two more car parks in Paignton

Residents and visitors to some of the Bay's most beautiful locations will now be able to park locally, all day for just £1.50.

The council has announced it will extend its winter car park's promotion to include Shedden Hill, Torre Valley and Meadfoot beach car parks in Torquay, and Roundham and Cliff Park Road car parks in Paignton.

The promotion, which started this week, will run until Saturday, March 31 to encourage visitors and local residents to enjoy the beautiful areas, outside of the town centres, including beaches and parks.

The car parks now included in the winter charges promotion are:

Brixham - Shoalstone and Breakwater

Paignton - Broadsands, Roundham and Cliff Park Road (Goodrington)

Torquay - Kilmorie, Walls Hill, Shedden Hill, Meadfoot beach and Torre Valley

Cllr Robert Excell said: "Our winter car park's promotion helps to encourage more people to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful coastal areas that Torbay has to offer - particularly at a time when we are experiencing unusually mild weather at this time of year.

"It also helps to support our local businesses, particularly beachside facilities such as cafes and shops.

"We are always looking at new and innovative ways of encouraging people into Torbay whether it is to enjoy our coastline or town centres and we will be announcing some further promotions to help the town centres during February."
