Councillors have backed an idea to see free parking in the city centre in the run up to Christmas.

The aim is to provide free parking at Norton Road, London Road, Regency Square, High Street in Kemp Town and Trafalgar Street car parks on Saturday, December 7 and on the three Sundays before Christmas (December 8, 15 and 22).

We want to know what you think about the idea.

Would the free parking encourage you to shop in the city centre?

Or have you decided to avoid the crowds and shop onlien this year?

Are there beter initiatives such as free buses that would be better?

Let us know using the comment feature below and take part in our poll.
