BRISTOL AIRPORT RETAINS SAFE PARKING AWARD

On-site car parks given Park Mark seal of approval

Bristol Airport has retained Park Mark Safer Parking status following a review carried out as part of a scheme set up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). All seven on-site car parks once again met the requirements following a formal risk assessment process. The Park Mark Safer Parking scheme is aimed at reducing both crime and the fear of crime in parking facilities. It is managed for ACPO by the British Parking Association and supported by the Home Office. Accredited car parks at the Airport include Silver Zone, Long Stay, Short Stay and the Drop-off Car Park. Richard Skinner, Senior Customer Service Manager at Bristol Airport, said: “We pride ourselves on the safety of our car parks, which are well-lit and staffed 24 hours a day. Retention of this award should continue to reassure customers that their car will be well looked after while they are away on holiday or on business.” Bristol Airport received full accreditation in 2008. A range of different options are available to suit the requirements of all travellers, from a premium concierge service to the lowest-priced on-site offer in Silver Zone. All car parks are located on-site and served by a courtesy bus, with prices starting at £29.99 for eight days. A Which? report on airport parking published in April 2010 placed Bristol in the top three cheapest airports for a seven day stay.
