Park for a pound this Christmas

B

lackpool is to benefit from discounted parking in the run-up to Christmas to encourage people to shop local.

The campaign will start on Saturday 30 November when the majority of council-owned car parks across Blackpool* will be free to use to celebrate both National Small Business Saturday and the Christmas Lights Switch-On event in St John’s Square.

Then, throughout December, residents and out-oftown visitors will be able to park for just £1 for any three-hour period on Central, East Topping Street and West Street car parks in the town centre.

The £1 parking offer, which is being funded by Blackpool Council and the Town Centre BID, will run from December 1 to January 1 inclusive.

Cllr Mark Smith, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Business, Enterprise & Job Creation, said: “We are pleased to be able to repeat last year’s highly-popular £1 parking offer throughout the month of December on three of our main town centre car parks.

“We are also delighted to add another bonus by way of free use of the majority of our car parks on Small Business Saturday on November 30. This will give people throughout the town an opportunity to support their local shops and businesses, as well as giving people an extra incentive to watch the Christmas lights switch on in the town centre.

provide an attractive deal for visitors coming from out-of-town.”

The Christmas lights switch-on event, which has been organised by the Town Centre BID, will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 30 November with a special guest appearance by TV personality, Scarlett Moffatt.

Ryan Skyrme, BID Operations Manager, added: “Blackpool town centre has a great deal to offer to shoppers with a vastly-improved range of cafes and restaurants, as well as a mix of independent and national brands.

“We hope the discounted parking offer will be a great incentive for people to not just shop in Blackpool this Christmas, but also enjoy some of the fantastic entertainment that is on offer at our theatres and venues.”

This year sees a number of top-quality Christmas productions in and around the town centre including the Peter Pan pantomime at the Grand Theatre; Horrible Christmas at the Opera House; and Pinocchio at The Blackpool Tower Circus.

In addition, there is a wide range of Christmas shows and party nights at leading venues such as Viva.

Now the charity needs your help to get to the next stage of the Charity Film Awards, by voting online for their video, so they can reach the judges’ shortlist.

The Charity Film Awards showcase some of the most effective pieces of film out there to promote vital charity work. Video is now a crucial part of many charities’ marketing strategies, to help increase awareness of their cause and engage further with

22

new and current supporters.

Head of Fundraising, Linzi Warburton, said: “With the new Brian House video, we’re hoping to showcase the specialist, around-the-clock care that we provide to young people with life-limiting illnesses and complex needs, in a safe but vibrant environment.

“We also create lots of opportunities for our children to make memories through fun experiences, both at the hospice and with trips out to places like the zoo, the local indoor waterpark, and the beach.

“The video aims to demonstrate how these children and young people can have the best quality of life, however short.”

It costs over £1.2 million a year to keep Brian House open and provide support for the Fylde coast’s most fragile children and their families. They charity receives less than £200,000 in government funding and therefore relies heavily on the community and generous donations. The film demonstrates just how important this continued support is and the enormous, positive impact it has on everyone who needs Brian House.

Your votes will ensure that the Brian House video reaches the judges’ shortlist stage; from there, a winner will be decided. Register your email address to vote today: https://charityfilmawards.com/ videos/brian-house-childrenshospice - and don’t forget to share with your friends and family.
