Leeds Bradford Airport has been awarded a national ‘Safe Parking’ award for the eighth consecutive year, in a scheme which aims to reduce crime and improve safety.

Run by Park Mark, an Association of Chief Police Officers initiative, it is also supported by the Home Office and British Parking Association. To receive the accolade the parking facilities must provide good access control, safe entries and exits and comprehensive CCTV coverage.

Phil Taylor, the North Eastern area manager for the scheme, said: “The Leeds Bradford Airport car parks were very recently awarded Safer Parking status again having reached the standards set by the scheme. The airport car parks have held this status since 2005.”
