Safer parking awards for Carmarthen car parks
Two more car parks in Carmarthenshire have been awarded the Safer Parking Award.
Both the Greyfriars and St Catherine’s Walk multi-storey car parks now display the Park Mark logo.
This means they have been assessed by the police and there is improved security and safety for both visitors and their vehicles – from CCTV and lighting to parking areas and management practice.
Executive board member for community safety Councillor Pam Palmer said: “The Community Safety Partnership is working hard to reduce vehicle crime in the county and we want to make sure our car parks are as safe and secure as possible.
“Under this scheme car parks are assessed against strict criteria before receiving the award and have measures in place to deter criminal activity, thereby creating a safer environment for both you and your vehicle.”
The Safer Parking Scheme was established by the Association of Chief Police Officers and is run by the British Parking Association.
Other car parks which have achieved the award are at Parc Trostre and Parc Pemberton in Llanelli and West Wales General and Prince Phillip hospitals.
Community safety officer PC Rob Chapman, who is the safer parking assessor for Carmarthenshire, said: “The aim is to encourage car park operators to improve security standards to reduce crime and the fear of crime in car parks.”
