The winners of the British Parking Awads 2019

 

Contemporary and 1960s car parks, school streets schemes, charity fundraisers, cycle hubs and digital payment systems make up the eclectic list winners at the British Parking Awards 2019.

The British Parking Awards have been presented annually by Parking Review magazine since 2002, and the awards ceremony organised by Landor LINKS is the social highlight of the parking calendar.

The ceremony was compered by the comedian Shappi Khorsandi, who revealed that in being evicted first on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! actually made her the winner as she got to stay in a luxury hotel with her friends and family until all the other contestants were eliminated.

The event took place on International Women’s Day, which was referenced throughout the event by Shappi and awards presenters. For example, Paul Moorby OBE, speaking for headline sponsor MiPermit, struck an inspiring tone: “To every woman here: keep going, keep pushing the agenda and get to the top of your profession.”

The big winner on the day were a group of Essex councils, with the county’s parking partnerships collecting three trophies – the Parking Partnership Award, the Communication Award for the 3PR safer school streets campaign  and a Special Project Award for the remodelling of a car park in Colchester

wo car parks linked to bus stations built 50 years apart were also winners: the Lincoln Central multi-storey car park was named Best New Car Park, while the renovation of Preston Bus Station was presented with an Inspiration Award.

There was even an award for a car park that is no longer a car park: Southwark Council’s Peckham Levels cultural hub in south-east London.

The day saw the achievements of individuals working in the sector recognised. The Parking Person of The Year was David Taylor, head the Shared Parking Service established by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Nigel Williams, managing director of Parking Matters, received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his service to the sector.

The next generation was recognised with Young Professional of the Year trophies being presented to Emily Adenuga of Your Parking Space and Antonia Hobden of Just Park.

The Jury Prize was presented to Penham Excel, Conduent and the British Parking Association for a campaign seeking  a change in the law to make it easier to enforce against persistent evaders.
