PARK Mark safer car park awards have been made to a dozen of Bexley's public car parks.

The awards, made by the British Parking Association and the Association of Chief Police Officers, mean the car parks have met their requirements in deterring criminal activity and anti-social behaviour.

The winning car parks are the Albion Road multi-storey, Avenue Road, Megabowl, Oaklands Road and civic offices all in Bexleyheath; Felixstowe Road and Gayton Road, Abbey Wood; Main Road, Sidcup; Mill Road, Northumberland Heath; Nuxley Road, Belvedere; Thanet Road, Bexley Village and Westwood Lane, Welling.
