Car park discount reaps economic rewards

A resident from Warwickshire has paid Wychavon a compliment after she visited Evesham over Christmas.

Mrs Tebby, a resident from Kenilworth, Warwickshire, was visiting Evesham in mid-December and was delighted to find the parking was discounted.

Mrs Tebby said: “My husband and I visited Evesham and were very pleased to take advantage of the very reduced parking charges in December. This incentive to shoppers during the Christmas period was very welcome and I can say that we spent just short of £100 in the town - money that the proprietors of Evesham benefitted from thanks to someone at your offices. I will be writing to my local Council to tell them how it should be done and using this as an example - a Council taking into consideration the economic climate and its residents. Congratulations!”

Councillor Paul Middlebrough, Leader of Wychavon District Council, said: “It’s was very nice to receive Mrs Tebby’s compliment and to hear that she spent money in one of our towns, which was the clear incentive of the promotion. We continue to support traders and local businesses and will announce a package of initiatives in addition to this later in the year.”
