What's on - The Mall receives Park Mark Safer Parking Award again

02 March, 2010

We are pleased to announce that once again The Mall Norwich has been awarded The Park Mark Safer Parking Award. To achieve the award a car park facility must achieve an effective combination of active management procedures and commensurate preventative security measures. Parking facilities must be able to demonstrate zero or very low crime levels, subject to assessment of the crime levels in the surrounding area. Other areas assessed are lighting, signage, surveillance, parking areas and pedestrian access.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), launched the Secured Car Parks Scheme in 1992 as part of their secured by design initiative to encourage those responsible for car parks to improve security standards as a means of reducing criminal activity, the fear of crime and the perception of crime in all car parks and vehicle retention areas.

The purpose of the scheme is to reduce crime with parking facilities, provide guidance to owners, operators and developers of car parks and raise awareness to the general public, when parking, that the owner has considered, and where appropriate taken action, to reduce crime and the fear of crime within the parking facility.
