Welshpool ‘Pay What You Can’ Parking Trial Ends This Month

Welshpool Drivers Asked for Feedback as Free Parking Trial Ends

Welshpool ‘Pay What You Can’ Parking Trial Ends This Month Welshpool Town Council’s 26-week ‘Pay What You Can’ Saturday parking trial is entering its final month, with the last free parking day at Church Street Car Park taking place on Saturday 26 September 2026. The trial has been running for 26 weeks, giving drivers the opportunity to use the council car park under the ‘Pay What You Can’ arrangement on Saturdays. Final free parking day announced The council has confirmed that Saturday 26 September will be the final free parking day at Church Street Car Park under the trial. With the trial now approaching its end, Welshpool Town Council is asking drivers and other users to provide feedback on the scheme. The feedback will help the council assess the trial after it has been in place for 26 weeks. For local drivers, the end of the trial means the current Saturday parking arrangement at Church Street Car Park is approaching a change. The council has not, in the information provided, confirmed what parking arrangements will replace the trial after 26 September. Drivers asked to have their say The council’s announcement specifically encourages people to provide feedback before the trial comes to an end. The scheme is focused on Saturday parking at Church Street Car Park, making the feedback particularly relevant to people who regularly visit Welshpool on Saturdays. Parking arrangements can have a direct impact on how easily drivers access town-centre businesses and services, particularly at weekends. For anyone who has used the car park during the trial, the council’s feedback request provides an opportunity to comment on their experience before decisions are made about what happens next. The final free Saturday is therefore an important date for local drivers to be aware of, while the longer-term parking arrangements remain to be confirmed. For drivers planning to park in Welshpool after the trial ends, checking the council’s latest parking information before travelling will be important once the replacement arrangements are announced.
