Dunfermline South Liberal Democrat Councillor James Calder has been leading the campaign for free Sunday parking charges in Dunfermline, and is now calling for parking to remain free as shops are set to reopen from 29 June as restrictions are eased.

Cllr. Calder has commented,

Last year after our campaign to end Sunday parking charges, Fife Council trialled free Sunday parking in the town centre of Dunfermline and many shops appreciated this.

However COVID-19 has had a terrible financial impact for many of our local businesses. With shops now reopening we need to encourage local residents to shop at them and by maintaining free parking in Dunfermline we would help our local businesses in this difficult time for them. I hope Fife Council will keep this in mind to give our local economy a much-needed boost.”
