With major Otley events such as the Victorian Fayre and Otley Christmas Tree Festival on hold again due to the Covid crisis, the free parking scheme is set to provide a boost for the high street and historic market.
The scheme has been championed by Leeds City Councillor Colin Campbell (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon).
