By Parking charges suspended for frontline workers
North East Lincolnshire Council has now suspended charges and time restrictions for key workers at all council car parks and on-street council parking bays, in order to help frontline workers and volunteers perform their duties during the Covid-19 crisis and lockdown.
In a show of support for key workers, all fees have now been waived. This includes NHS workers and those providing other essential services.
Following Government advice, all other residents are urged to continue staying at home if they are not carrying out essential work, and to avoid all non essential travel and social contact.
Leader of North East Lincolnshire Council, Councillor Philip Jackson, said:
“NHS staff and other frontline workers are doing a fantastic job, supporting the most vulnerable in our society under extremely challenging circumstances.
As part of our support for them, we’ve introduced free parking in our council car parks and on-street bays to allow those essential workers and volunteers to carry out their vital duties without having to worry about paying to park.
We will continue to monitor the situation and review the measures and national picture in three weeks.”
