Hide AdSharon Clarke, town centre manager, said: "Pricing in car parks is affecting the town, definitely.
"Now we hope to bring a little competition into the mix."
The West End scheme, which runs until April 16, is the brainchild of traders desperate to get people back into independent shops suffering from the economic downturn and what they feel is over-zealous parking enforcement.
Shoppers can complete the coupon printed in the Herald and hand it to one of the 30 participating traders in Montague Street and Rowlands Road, to receive a 1.20 refund, which could pay for between two hours and a full day's parking in nearby roads.
Pick up a copy of the Worthing Herald on Thursday, April 2, for more on this story and your free parking coupon.
