Park Access awarded to The Q-Park
Meadows Q-Park Multi Storey Car Park, Chelmsford shares pride at receiving prestigious Park Access accreditation
Meadows- Q-Park Multi Storey Car Park, Chelmsford has been awarded the Park Access award.
Park Access® is a brand new accreditation that aims to become recognised throughout the whole of the UK for accessible and inclusive parking and electric vehicle charging facilities. Park Access will enable everyone, regardless of their accessibility needs, to identify car parks and facilities, such as EV charge points, that they can use with ease.
The Park Access accreditation is issued to parking facilities that pass a rigorous risk assessment conducted by the British Parking Association. This award recognises that the parking and driver facilities in place are accessible to all drivers regardless of their mobility needs.
Park Access brings together the very best of two accreditations – the Disabled Parking Accreditation and People’s Parking Award to automatically become the UK's industry benchmark for accessible and inclusive parking and electric vehicle charging facilities.
Shahed Chowdhury, Business Manager London Q-park said: "This recognition is a testament to Q-parks commitment to inclusivity and creating an environment that is welcoming to all. It demonstrates our dedication to delivering exceptional standards in parking facilities and specifically acknowledge the car park's provisions for disabled visitors, ensuring that accessible spaces are thoughtfully designed and conveniently located to cater to their needs.”
Ian Wilson, BPA Southeast Area Manager said: “I am delighted that Q-Park Meadows, Chelmsford has achieved the Park Mark Access award, demonstrating their hard work and commitment to provide a safe and accessible environment for users.”
