Free parking could be extended as part of a bid to attract more people to a Norfolk town centre.
Drivers using Fairland Hill, Middleton Street and Town Green in Wymondham could benefit from an extra half an hour of free parking.
People can currently park in these areas for 30 minutes, but the raft of measures proposed as part of improving the South Norfolk town may mean it is bumped up to one hour.
Lisa Overton-Neal, who is responsible for economic growth on South Norfolk Council, said: "We have spoken to business owners and it is something that they desperately wanted."
Minutes of a recent Wymondham Town Council planning meeting, where the proposals can be found, read: "The extension of parking time will provide more easily accessible free parking valuable to all visitors to the town."
A one-way system could also be introduced on Market Place.
The increase in parking provisions is part of a £950,000 scheme to make Wymondham town centre more attractive.
South Norfolk Council has been working alongside the town council since 2024 to attract more people to the town by making it more accessible through a range of 'public realm improvements'.
