After staring on "Parking Hell" as the shining star of positive news, Robert Braddicks FREE car park in Westward Ho! was extended to fit in 46 cars. So, it is now Twice As Free! The film crew are back, Seafield Car Park will be opened in style!

Sunday 24th February, starting at 2.30pm, is going to be a special day. It's the day that the film crew from "Parking Hell" are back to report on the doubling of the car park. Not only did Robert Braddick give a car park to the community to use for FREE, but, when it was full all of the time, he decided to make it bigger....Twice as free!
It's Robert Braddick...He is not happy with just this...Ohh no. He is not known for half measures, stingy portions, half deals....This is Braddicks Leisure we are talking here...The full portion, a bit extra, bend over backwards type affair! Not only has Rob doubled the car park capacity to allow 46 cars to park for FREE, given Westward Ho! some amazing, positive publicity but he is also giving away a FREE welcome drink at the official opening of the car park on Sunday.
The Visit Westward Ho! event team will be there with stage and PA system ready to kick off proceedings at 2.30pm. The official opening of the "Twice As Free Car Park" will be around 3pm and Chris Stuckly will be on stage from about 3.15pm cementing the event with some quality music.
What a true Westward Ho! way to open a free car park, what spirit from Robert Braddick and what support from a wonderful, thankful community. 
See you on Sunday!
