## Resource

Perth’s high street is fighting back with a bold move: free parking for two hours to lure shoppers back to the city center. Sparked by a local shopkeeper’s petition—now with 900 signatures—the campaign targets out-of-town retail parks that already offer free parking. A council politician backs the idea, saying even a small incentive can shift consumer habits. The shopkeeper argues parking costs are a major deterrent and that limited free parking would level the playing field for independents, boosting the whole community. The council agrees the city center must stay vibrant and accessible, having already cut fees and added 15 minutes of free parking across multi-story lots. Now, a full review of Perth and Kinross’s parking strategy is set to begin, aiming to find the best solution for the entire region.
