Six car parks in Tendring have been awarded a top safety accreditation.
The Tendring District Council (TDC) facilities have been awarded The Safer Parking Award Scheme Park Mark from the British Parking Association.
A sign of safety, it means each car park has passed an assessment relating to the quality of lighting, cleanliness, security measures and quality management.
Car parks which have received the award in the 2022 phase one review are: Elm Grove and Ipswich Road in Clacton; Jaywick Sands Beach; Tower Street, Brightlingsea; Wellington Road, Harwich; and Walton-on-the-Naze High Street.
Alex Porter, TDC Cabinet Member responsible for car parks, said the awards demonstrated the high quality of the amenities.
“A Park Mark means residents and visitors can be confident in using our car parks, safe in knowledge that they are well looked after, which you would absolutely expect from TDC facilities,” Cllr Porter said.
“These awards are just recognition of that, and thanks must go to our Parking Services team for their hard work to maintain these high standards.”
Residents are reminded that as well as free car parks, the Householder Parking Permit allows free parking after 11am at most TDC car parks, except for in July and August – visit the TDC website at www.tendringdc.gov.uk/householder-parking-permits for details.
