Support those district and city councils, retailers local charter clubs, churches and schools that provide 'freedom parking'

I want to encourage all vanners to patronise those areas that do make an effort to provide park over places available.  Stock up your cupboards, clothing, dine out, refuel, get repairs and service work carried out while you go on a tour in these areas.
