SOUTH SOMERSET NEWS: Free parking up for grabs with a Golden Ticket!

SOUTH Somerset District Council is supporting residents and local shops over Christmas with the chance for car park users to win a ‘Golden Ticket’ offering them three months’ free parking.

In addition, all of the council’s current season ticket holders will be entered into a draw and one lucky winner will also win three months free car parking.

This is on top of the fact that the council has frozen pay-and-display parking charges since June 2012. During the lead-up to Christmas, 30 golden tickets will be planted in pay-and-display machines in SSDC-operated car parks.

Lucky pay-and-display customers will receive a special golden ticket that they must retain after use. If your pay-and-display ticket is a winner between December 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014, winners need to send the original ticket to: South Somerset District Council, Car Park Administration, Brympton Way, Yeovil, Somerset, BA20 2HT.

Winners will be able to claim a three-month free season ticket for any long stay car park in Yeovil, Chard, Ilminster or Crewkerne.

Winners must enclose their contact details, a telephone number and the registration numbers of up to two vehicles when sending the winning golden ticket back to the district council. Please also include details of the car park of your choice and start date for the season ticket.

The council’s finance and strategic car parks income spokesman, Cllr Tim Carroll, said: “This is another parking initiative alongside local ones in Yeovil and our market towns – in a survey of initiatives nationally, this was one that was received favourably elsewhere so we determined to give it a trial and see what the response is like.”
