Praise for 'low-crime' car park
Managers of a car park in the East Midlands have been given an award for reducing car crime levels.

Statistics show that motorists who park in Nottingham East Midlands Airport's (NEMA) car park have a one in 250,000 chance of being a victim of car crime.

Car crime has been almost halved at the Castle Donington site, compared with figures from the same period last year.

This is the second year running that NEMA has won the Park Mark Safer Parking Award.

Jamie Christon, NEMA's general manager of retail and parking, said: "Every incident of vehicle crime is treated extremely seriously.

"Passengers have the peace of mind that they can leave their cars on-site when they jet off on their holidays."

The Park Mark Award scheme was set up by the Association of Chief Police Officers and aims to reduce crime and the fear of crime.
