Three car parks managed by Welwyn Hatfield Council have achieved the prestigious Park Mark award.

The Lemsford Road and Kennelwood Lane car parks in Hatfield and the Campus East Upper car park in Welwyn Garden City were all recently reaccredited once again by Hertfordshire Police and the BPA.

Councillor Sandreni Bonfante, executive member for environment, said: “I am delighted that our car parks have been awarded with Park Mark and Disabled Parking accreditation.  

"Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield town centres have benefited from multi-million-pound regeneration programmes and it is essential that we have safe, and secure car parks that are accessible for everyone."

Park Mark is the accredited logo of the Safer Parking Scheme.

It is given to parking facilities that have achieved the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the police and the British Parking Association.

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.
