Park at Stansted, and jet away safe in the knowledge your vehicle is in the only official parking for Stansted Airport approved by Essex Police. That's the message from Airport bosses to anyone tempted by illegal car park options this summer.
" The only official airport parking is here on-site, and with all our car parks accredited to Park Mark® standard for safety and security, it's the only place passengers should book to guarantee the safest car park option before jetting away," said Stansted's Head of Transport Planning and Policy, Julia Gregory.
"A recent report in 'Which?Car'' magazine drew attention to some of the pitfalls of using unofficial car park operators. Security measures in place in our car parks 
include CCTV, security fencing and regular patrols so we hope travellers will heed our advice, book early to get the cheapest rates, and leave their car in one of our Park Mark® accredited car parks."
Speaking about Essex Police involvement with the Park Mark® award scheme, Deputy Divisional Commander Stansted Airport, Graham Stubbs said:
"Essex Police is thoroughly committed to the Park Mark® scheme, which is an official UK Police flagship initiative promoted by the Association of Chief Police Officers, and administered by The British Parking Association.
"Our Safer Parking Accredited Assessors work in partnership with Stansted Airport Limited to assess standards of safety and security, along with good management practices, in a bid to reduce opportunities for crime and anti–social behaviour. We would actively encourage all visitors to the Airport to take advantage of these facilities."
