Nearly £2 million of additional investment proposals, including the return of free parking in town centres, have been backed by senior councillors.

The plans include a £480,000 subsidy on two hours of free parking in town centres to boost trade, as well as £150,000 on improving safety around schools.

It comes after more than 4,000 people responded to a budget consultation asking borough residents what their priorities were for budget spend.

The final budget will be presented to full council for approval on February 23.
