FREE PARKING DAY, Thursday 4th February & Thursday 4th March
The first Thursday of every month since June 2009 has seen a free parking day in Dungarvan town centre council car parks and on street parking. This is a gesture from the Dungarvan Town Council to further support the efforts, activities and growth of town centre businesses.
To ensure this day is as successful as possible we must all work together. Again the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber has prizes to offer shoppers, these have been generously donated by local businesses.We encourage each business to offer your clients the facility to write their name and telephone number on a piece of paper and leave with you in a box.
You or a staff member could deliver this box to the Chamber office before 11am the day after the free parking event when prize winners will be picked.
Again the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber implores each business owner/ manager and staff NOT TO USE town centre parking and regular ‘paid parking areas’ so the shopper can experience full benefit from this initiative.Those who take advantage of this initiative will put it in jeopardy of becoming a long term activity. Traffic Wardens will be in operation taking notes of cars left for more than a reasonable length of shopping time.
€160,000 Kept in Local Economy through Chamber Shopping Vouchers in December 2009
The Dungarvan & West Waterford communities demonstrate cooperativeness and goodwill towards friends and neighbours in this economic decline by supporting local business and purchasing Chamber Shopping Vouchers!
Sold through the Chamber Office, the attractive vouchers are redeemable in over 100 Retail and Service outlets in Dungarvan & West Waterford (Chamber Member Outlets Only).
This year records were broken when over €160,000 worth of shopping vouchers were sold in November & December 2009.
This money was kept in our local area safe guarding jobs and businesses and curtailing the hemorrhaging of money outside our local economic area. Shoppers, employers and gift purchasers are very aware of the value of keeping business local, and the benefits this has. Calls from gift givers living as far away as America were received to purchase vouchers to be sent to people living locally.
There are still over €45,000 worth of vouchers in circulation. Please display your sign to inform customers you can accept these vouchers.
For further details about vouchers or for general enquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber on tel; 058 45054 mobile; 086 604 3602 or email;
