A FREE one-hour parking scheme is being introduced in Ventnor while repair works at The Graben are carried out.
The Isle of Wight Council is to offer the concession to motorists at the Central, Eastern Esplanade, The Grove and La Falaise car parks in Ventnor from Monday (June 24) next week.
Motorists must still get a ticket from the machine and display it in their windscreen, to benefit from the offer.
The scheme will run until Friday, July 19, to help Ventnor's businesses while a new traffic management system is put in place.
There will be free one-hour parking in Central, Eastern Esplanade, The Grove and La Falaise car parks in Ventnor from Monday.

This is to allow Southern Water to carry out essential repairs to its infrastructure on Newport Road.
Colin Rowland, the Isle of Wight Council's strategic director of community services, said: "We recognise the importance of doing what we can, to encourage people to shop locally and visit the town during these works.
"By offering this free parking scheme, we hope it will have a positive effect on footfall into the town."
Ventnor Town Council also offers free parking at its Dudley Road, Pound Lane and Market Street car parks on Saturdays, between 10am and 4pm.
