Merton Council is set to offer free parking to Christmas shoppers for a second time this year.

From November 30, parking will be free every weekend in all council managed car parks, except the car park next to Waitrose in Raynes Park.

It will also include December 23 and Christmas Eve.

Councillor Stephen Alambritis, leader of the council, said: "It was well received last year and I wanted to repeat the exercise."

The scheme will cost the council £65,000.
