The award comes as part of the Safer Parking Scheme, a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to ensure the safety of people and vehicles.

A ‘Park Mark’ is awarded to each car park that passes challenging assessments set by the police and BPA, to give users the confidence to leave their vehicle in a safe, undisrupted environment.

In the UK, a quarter of car parks have achieved the ‘Park Mark’ award. That’s 5,000 out of 17,000-20,000 car parks across the country.

Foyleside have said that the move will “allow shoppers to enjoy the experience of Derry even more”.

Fergal Rafferty, Foyleside Shopping Centre Manager said: “We strive to provide a safe and clean environment for shoppers and visitors to park their cars. Being awarded these accolades is a testament to our Security and Housekeeping teams who work hard to ensure standards are maintained.

To celebrate the launch of 24/7 city centre car parking, Foyleside have become a Millennium Forum ticketing partner, with the news of the 24 hour parking to be advertised on over 300,000 audience tickets in 2020.

Cara McCartney, Development Officer Millennium Forum, said: “We have been working closely with Foyleside for over 19 years on cross promotions, award-winning arts projects and extended opening hours around late shows.
