Motorists will now be able to park for up to two hours free across Dudley, thanks to plans by the Conservatives on Dudley Council.
The move is an attempt to make it easier for shoppers and to boost trade in our town centres.
Councillor Karen Shakespeare said "Shoppers and traders alike have told us how the current one hour of free parking has been a very welcome boost.
“Once again we are listening to what the people of Dudley borough have to say and we are extending the free parking to two hours to give shoppers a longer time in our town centres".
