Anyone visiting Ayr to do their Christmas shopping won’t have to pay to leave their cars in Council car parks and on-street spaces.

South Ayrshire Council has suspended weekend charges throughout December to encourage more shoppers into the town centre.
All on-street parking will be free as well as in the Council owned car parks in Barns Crescent, Charlotte Street, and Kyle Street every weekend in December.
Private car parks will continue to charge as normal.
Councillor Ian Cochrane, Environment Portfolio Holder for the Council said: "This is a long standing South Ayrshire Council tradition during the run up to Christmas and I’m sure everyone will appreciate the gesture.”
Normal weekend parking charges will be reinstated from Saturday, 5 January 2018.
