Crystal peaks shopping centre has been rewarded for its safe and secure parking. 

The nationwide Park Mark initiative rewards car parks that police consider a safe environment for drivers.

The award was presented to Crystal Peaks centre manager, Lee Greenwood, by Detective Chief Inspector Tom Whiteley, of South Yorkshire Police.

Mr Greenwood said: “We are so pleased to have been awarded this Park Mark for our safe and secure car parks. It is imperative that we continue to offer our shoppers a protected and safe environment when they visit.”

The centre has 2,000 spaces spread across six car parks, including the retail park.

CCTV and regular patrols by centre staff helped the centre receive this accolade.

Parking areas are also monitored by dedicated Crystal Peaks officer PC Daniel Garside, of the Woodhouse and Mosborough safer Neighbourhood Team.
