Christmas parking: Council announces parking charges to be suspended on selected December dates
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has announced a temporary suspension of parking charges across several of its towns in the run-up to Christmas, offering motorists free parking on selected weekend dates.
The variation, made under Sections 35C and 46A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, affects both on-street and off-street Pay and Display parking areas in Beverley, Bridlington, Driffield, Flamborough, Goole, Hornsea and Howden.
Free weekend parking in coastal towns
In Bridlington, Flamborough and Hornsea, parking charges will be suspended on:
Saturday 13 & Sunday December 14 2025
Saturday 20 & Sunday December 21 2025
Charges will continue to apply on weekdays.
Free Saturday parking in market towns
In Beverley, Driffield, Goole and Howden, drivers will benefit from free parking on:
Saturday December 13 2025
Saturday December 20 2025
In these towns, usual charges will still apply from Monday to Saturday outside the dates listed.
Normal charges resume after December 20
The Council stresses that standard parking charges will apply on all other days beyond December 20 2025, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
All other parking rules – such as double yellow lines, disabled parking bays and loading restrictions – remain in force and will continue to be enforced.
The Council says the temporary suspension aims to support residents, businesses and visitors during the busy festive shopping period.
