SHOPPERS in South Oxfordshire are being reminded there will be free parking days in the run-up to Christmas.

Drivers will be able to park free of charge at some South Oxfordshire District Council car parks throughout December.

Council leaders are running the free parking days in a bid to boost the local economy.

When free Christmas parking is available drivers do not have to display a parking ticket.
