Care taken to secure prestigious Park Mark award for London's Docklands car park

Care Park UK Ltd car park at the Isle of Dogs South Quay accredited with Park Mark

A Care Park UK Ltd car park in London's Docklands district at the Isle of Dogs South Quay has been accredited with Park Mark having demonstrated the highest standards across their operations.

Park Mark is the accredited logo of the Safer Parking Scheme and is given to parking facilities that have achieved the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the Police and the British Parking Association (BPA). The assessment includes management and maintenance of the facility, checking that there are appropriate levels of surveillance, lighting, signage, and cleanliness. All these measures are known to reduce the opportunity for crime and thus create a safer environment for the motorist and their vehicle.

Car parks with the Park Mark® award 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%.

Patrick Agbeko, Care Park UK Ltd`s London Operations Manager said "I am delighted that the Care Park multi-storey car park at the Isle of Dogs in Docklands has been awarded Park Mark accreditation. We are proud to support the Park Mark award initiative and are pleased to provide welcoming car parks to all our visitors."

Antony Powell, BPA Area Manager said:

“This is fantastic news for Care Park UK Ltd and is their fifth Park Mark award within the capital demonstrating the company`s hard work and commitment to providing a safer environment for all its visitors.”

P.C. Karl Turton, Metroplitan Police Designing Out Crime Officer and Park Mark Assessor said “Congratulations to the Care Park team in London. It is reassuring to work with an operator who values crime prevention and working in partnership with the BPA and police.
