RESIDENTS of Launceston and visitors to the town will be able to park for free in the Westgate Street multi-storey car park this Christmas.

Launceston Town Council is once again offering free parking in the multi-storey car park on Saturday, November 30 and then every Saturday in the run-up to Christmas.

It is hoped that this will give people the perfect opportunity to pop into town and shop locally to buy their Christmas gifts.
