This year they are proposing to introduce free parking from 2pm in the town's council owned car parks to facilitate businesses and shoppers who will be visiting Ballina over the Christmas period.
The incentive if agreed by the local councillors will commence on Monday, December 8 and continue each day until Wednesday, December 31.
