The London Boroughs of Bromley and Bexley have jointly awarded APCOA a new 10-year parking contract. The new arrangements, which will start in April 2017, will help to further harmonise the procedures and processes of both authorities and produce efficiency savings. 

Bromley and Bexley became a shared service in 2013. To date, these authorities have utilised the services of separate contractors to undertake parking enforcement and other related duties while existing contracts ran their terms.  

With the exception of PCN challenges, representations and appeals, APCOA’s 90 plus staff will provide a comprehensive parking solution to both authorities,  including; enforcement, permit processing, ICT administration and on and off street asset management and maintenance.  APCOA will also provide school crossing patrol services for Bromley through direct agreements with individual schools.

Ben Stephens, head of the Shared Parking Service, said:  “We are committed to providing customer service to the highest of standards and look forward to working with APCOA to maintain these standards and enhance our services into the future.”

Kim Challis, APCOA’s managing director for UK & Ireland, said: “This news is a major vote of confidence in APCOA’s services within the parking industry. Together we can take the opportunity to introduce and develop the new technologies that are evolving within the industry.”
