Cllr Robert Bevan, Council Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Planning, said; “The Support Your High Street campaign is a Welsh Government initiative which raises the profile of our diverse and vibrant local high streets.
“Aberdare is a town centre with a great history and a wealth of local talent and ‘Faberdare’ celebrates the valuable contribution local traders make to the Welsh economy as well as the vital role they play in the everyday lives of so many people.
“High streets across Rhondda Cynon Taf have a lot to offer to communities and visitors with a diverse range of shops and places to eat and drink. This is backed up by the number of Rhondda Cynon Taf business who have been shortlisted as finalists for the High Street Heroes Awards.
“Following the Council’s commitment last year to extend the free Christmas Parking initiative throughout the whole of December, this year we have gone one step further and will also be providing free parking in our town centre car parks throughout Support Your High Street week.”
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has announced free parking in its town centre car parks from 10am onwards until September 26 as part of Support Your High Street Week.
- The ‘Faberdare’ event in Aberdare town centre takes place from 10am until 4pm on Saturday, September 26. For further details, contact the Council’s Events Team on 01443 424123 or emailEvents@rctcbc.gov.uk
