Small Business Saturday comes to Mole Valley

Shoppers in Mole Valley will be able to park for free in certain areas this weekend.

In partnership with Small Business Saturday, the District Council is offering free parking across Mole Valley on 5th December from midday.

Councillor Charles Yarwood, Executive Member for Property and Parking, assures people the ticket machines will clearly show when parking is free and if anyone does put money in, those funds will be donated to the Chairman of the Council’s charities.

This year Councillor Margaret Cooksey is supporting the Amber Foundation and The Friends of Dorking Community Hospital.

More information on parking over the festive period can be found at www.molevalley.gov.uk/parking
