Metrolink passengers are set to benefit from several more months of free weekend parking after it was decided to extend an overnight trial.
This has been welcomed by local Shaw Lib Dem Councillor Howard Sykes.
Launched in December 2015, the trial offers free overnight weekend parking at selected Metrolink stops, meaning anyone travelling to work or enjoying a Friday or Saturday night out can leave their cars and catch the tram – providing they collect it by 12pm the following day.
The trial, which was due to conclude on 5 March 2016, has been extended until 30 July 2016, to allow for a full evaluation report to be completed.
Local stops in the trial include: Hollinwood (190), Oldham Mumps (270), Rochdale Rail Station (217), Derker (251) and Shaw and Crompton (90) stops.
