Monmouthshire County Council are providing free car parking for key workers during the coronavirus outbreak.

The council has said that their car parks are free to use for key workers.

The UK Government has advised everyone to stay at home. The only exceptions to this are essential travel, one form of exercise a day, to go shopping for essentials and travelling to and from work.

Monmouthshire council said the free car parking only applied to key workers.

A spokesman said: “The council will accommodate free parking within its car parks for key workers during the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, though we ask that they display a form of identification on the dashboard.

“The situation remains unchanged for other users who will still be required to comply with current parking practices.”
