Good job! Park Mark award for the Goodmayes Retail Park
Located in Chadwell Heath in London, The Goodmayes Retail Park has once again demonstrated the highest standards across its parking operations.
Park Mark® is the accredited logo of the Safer Parking Scheme. It is given to parking facilities that have achieved the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the Police and the British Parking Association. Their assessments include management and maintenance of the facility, checking that there are appropriate levels of surveillance, lighting, signage, and cleanliness. All these are known to reduce the opportunity for crime and thus create a safer environment for the motorist and their vehicle.
Car parks with a Park Mark® can use signage featuring the distinctive Park Mark® tick so that drivers know exactly where to go for safe parking. Facilities that have received this award have seen a drop in vehicle-related crime of over 80%.
P.C. Phil Bradley, Met. Police Designing Out Crime Officer and Park Mark Assessor, said: “We are very pleased to confirm the Park Mark Award at Goodmayes Retail Park for a further two years. The achievement of this award is a result of the effort put in by the management company to ensure that the facility offers a safe and secure environment for customers and staff.”
Mr Shug Patel, Regional Facilities Manager, Savills, said: We are very pleased that the Goodmayes Retail Park car park has once again received the Park Mark award. The award shows that our customers and visitors can park in a safer environment.”
