A Park Mark is awarded to parking facilities that pass a rigorous risk assessment conducted by the police and the British Parking Association.  The assessments include 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.

Michael Gardner, British Parking Association Area Manager, said: “I am delighted that Resorts World has now achieved Park Mark for its two car parks. It is always rewarding to be involved in the very early planning stages when a car park is being built and then to visit the finished product. 

“However, effective Management of any car park is also crucial to a successful Park Mark car park. This award is well deserved and is testament to the hard work and professionalism of the car park team at Resorts World.”
