Prestigious Park Mark Plus award for Doncaster's Frenchgate shopping centre
Facility receives prestigious award having demonstrated the highest standards across its operations.
Park Mark Plus is a comprehensive assessment demonstrating the highest quality of today's modern car parks in services, operations, design and build. To achieve the award, car parks must demonstrate a wide range of responsibilities.
Building on the well-regarded Safer Parking Scheme’s Park Mark award, Park Mark Plus recognises only the highest quality car parks. Park Mark is the accredited logo of the Safer Parking Scheme, which 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.
The award of Park Mark Plus demonstrates that a facility provides police-approved accredited parking, and has reached the standards of the Park Access accreditation and a range of environmental, structural, operational and customer services criteria.
Colin Sproats BPA Area Manager said: “I am delighted that Corrine and her team have achieved the Park Mark Plus award, demonstrating their hard work and commitment to provide a safe environment for users.”
