It’s good news for drivers in Knowsley as all the borough’s car parks have once again been named among the safest and most secure on Merseyside.

Knowsley is the only council on Merseyside to achieve the Park Mark Safer Parking award - presented to car parks which deter criminal activity and create a safer environment for customers and their cars – to all its car parks.

This is the second year in a row that all the car parks have met the strict standards necessary for this award – which is granted to parking areas that have achieved the requirements of an assessment conducted by the police.

Cllr Jackie Harris, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Social Inclusion for Knowsley Council, said: “Once again, we have achieved the Park Mark Safer Parking Award in all our borough’s car parks. This is a fantastic achievement and testament to the commitment of our staff who work hard to keep people and their vehicles safe all year round.

“The council is committed to providing high quality parking facilities, reducing levels of crime and improving public services for everyone who lives, works and visits Knowsley.”

The scheme is managed by the British Parking Association on behalf of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPOs), to reduce crime and the fear of crime in parking areas.
