Bishops Manor House Car Park Awarded Park Mark

Bishops Manor House car park in Howden has become East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s 16th Park Mark Award.  Park Mark is the award of the Safer Parking Scheme that recognises car parks with measures in place that actively deter crime and the fear of crime in car parks.

The car park undergoes a rigorous risk assessment conducted by the police and the British Parking Association and includes management and maintenance of the facility, ensuring that there are appropriate levels of surveillance, lighting, signage and cleanliness.  These criteria are known to reduce the opportunity for crime and create a safer environment for the motorist and their vehicle.

Tracy Rokahr, Humberside Police said: “I am delighted that East Riding of Yorkshire Council continues to achieve the Park Mark award as it demonstrates the hard work and commitment to providing a safe environment for users of the car parks.”

Ryan Davey, British Parking Association Area Manager said: “East Riding of Yorkshire Council has achieved Park Mark at 16 of its car parks.  This is a great achievement and the addition of Bishops Manor car park shows the commitment they have for providing safer parking for all of the car park users.”

Councillor Mike Stathers, portfilio holder for enhancing communities at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “We are pleased to receive the council's 16th Park Mark Award, which shows our continual commitment to raise the standard of our car parks.

“We are always looking to include more locations whilst retaining the high standards of those already in the scheme. We are grateful for the support and advice of our partners, to improve our car parks for our residents and visitors now and in the future.”
