Two car parks in Blaby centre have been awarded the Park Mark award showing that their design and operational management
offers motorists improved security and a reduced fear of crime. Two car parks benefit from CCTV surveillance and all but two
of these car parks have tarmac surfacing with all car parks conveniently situated for local amenities.
Car parks in Blaby itself are particularly well used and to ensure that there is a regular turnover of spaces, restricted
waiting times are applied and a car park attendant enforces these regulations.
