Safer parking extends to lorry park facilities with launch of Park Mark Freight

Safer Parking Freight builds upon the Safer Parking Award Scheme by introducing essential criteria. The Safer Parking Scheme is primarily aimed at the prevention of criminal behaviour within the parking environment and requires owners/operators to adopt an active management strategy to ensure that there is minimal occurrence of crime. The freight industry experiences a high volume of cargo theft and the main Safer Parking Scheme Assessment Guidelines do not explicitly cover this type of business.

Facilities awarded the Safer Parking Freight award are subject to an annual assessment to ensure the high standards required by the award are maintained. To be granted Safer Parking Freight, a parking facility must demonstrate a wide range of responsibilities, which includes low crime, measures in place to enhance the safety of people and vehicles, good management and operations, and exemplary customer service.
