Chargemaster has been awardeda £2m contract by NottinghamCity Council to install about 230electric vehicle charging pointsacross Nottinghamshire and inDerby over the next three years.As part of its Go Ultra LowCity status, Nottingham CityCouncil, together with Derbyand Nottinghamshire councils,was awarded £6.1m in 2016 fromthe Office for Low Emission Ve-hicles (OLEV) to help supportthe uptake of electric vehicles,reducing pollution and improv-ing air quality. The three-year contract willsee a significant increase in theavailability of publicly accessiblefast charge and rapid chargepoints across both cities and thecounty.

At least 11 sites are to be in-stalled in Nottingham within sixmonths, including at park & ridesites close to major routes.As part of the project, Charge-

master will install 50 of its Ul-tracharge rapid chargers in thearea. Planning for the new net-work has started immediately,with work expected to begin on

site in early 2018.Cllr Sally Longford, the Not-tingham City Council’s portfolioholder for neighbourhood ser-vices and local transport, said:“A lack of charging infrastructureis often cited as one of the mainbarriers for people looking tobuy an electric vehicle, and thisproject will go a long way tomaking it easier for motoriststo drive around Nottingham,Nottinghamshire and Derby.“The electricity used by thenew chargepoints will be gener-ated entirely from renewablesources, meaning every mile driv-en by vehicles charging on thenetwork will be powered by re-newable energy. Not only that,but an improved network is bet-ter for everyone. By enablingmore low emission vehicles onour roads, we can reduce theemission of harmful gases, re-sulting in cleaner air for everyonein our city.”

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Oil company Shell has signed anagreement with electric vehiclecharging network operator Ionity tooffer high-power points across tenEuropean countries. Ionity is a joint venture betweenBMW Group, Daimler AG, FordMotor Company and the

Volkswagen Group with Audi andPorsche, which was formed to createa network of 350-kilowatt chargersnext to major highways in Europe.The partnership will start by

equipping 80 of Shell’s biggesthighway stations, a move designedto give EV drivers confidence totravel long distances. The high-powered chargers willtake five to eight minutes on

average to charge next generationelectric vehicles.Shell is partnering with Ionity inthe UK, Belgium, France,

Netherlands, Austria, CzechRepublic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakiaand Slovenia.

be operated on POLAR, which Chargemaster says is now theUK’s largest EV charging network, and which already has over5,500 charging points nationwide.David Martell, chief executive of Chargemaster, said: “Thereare already over 1,000 electric vehicle drivers in Lancashire andthat number is expected to grow considerably over the comingyears. We are committed to ensuring that electric vehicle drivershave access to charging points right across the country, so wewill be improving coverage across the region.”

EV charging for North Wales studiedThe feasibility of creating a net-work of electric vehicle chargingpoints in North Wales is beingstudied. Transport and energyconsultancy Cenex has been ap-pointed by Cadwyn Clwyd, a Ru-ral Development Agency andWrexham County Borough Coun-cil (WCBC), to determine howcharge points could be rolled outacross the county of Wrexham. This project has received fund-ing through the Welsh Govern-ment Rural Communities – RuralDevelopment Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the Eu-ropean Agricultural Fund for Ru-ral Development and the WelshGovernment.The study started in October

and due be completed this month.Cadwyn Clwyd and WCBC is pro-viding expert local knowledge,while Cenex will explore optionsfor charge point locations andnetwork specifications.Donna Hughes, business part-nerships officer, Cadwyn Clwyd,said: “WCBC and Cadwyn Clwydhave identified that it is becomingincreasingly necessary to providegreener infrastructure withinWrexham County, to meet therising demand for electric vehi-cles. This feasibility study is thefirst step in addressing the needfor public use charging points,giving visitors and residents theconfidence that they can travelto, and within the county.”

The meeting point of road, river and rail, King’s Cross inNorth London has had seen many ups and downs overthe past 150 years. Two grand rail termini were constructedin the Victorian era – the clean lines of King’s Cross

station and the Gothic grandeur of St Pancras and its companion,the Midland Grand Hotel. While always a busy national rail andcommuter hub, during the Post-War era the area became run-down and neglected. However, the King’s Cross area has been undergoing a renaissance.

The mainline stations and the Grand Midland have been transformed,with St Pancras is now the home of the Eurostar terminal. The re-naissance of the Euston Road side of the stations started with theopening of the new British Library in 1997, a place of learning mostrecently joined by developments such as the Francis Crick Institute. On the King’s Cross side of the area, transformation has been

even more striking. Since 2001, the King’s Cross Central LimitedPartnership has planned, managed and delivered the regenerationof what is one of the most significant urban development projectsin the UK. The 67-acre King’s Cross development area has emergedas a new city quarter of offices, shops, restaurants, cultural venuesand places for people to live. Set alongside St Pancras Lock, the 14-storey Tapestry Building is

a collection of 129, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, town-houses and penthouses, of which 34 are for One Housing group.The development also features a multi-use games pitch, two retailunits and the area’s main car park, known as Handyside.The 415-space car park, accessed via Canal Reach, provides a

mixture of spaces for residents of the Tapestry Building, contractparking and around 230 spaces for the general public. It featuresfive electric vehicle charging bays. The car park is open to thepublic until 10pm, while residents have access around the clock.Variable message signs on approach routes to Handyside givedetails of real-time space availability. Once inside the car park,yellow and black deck numbering helps orientate drivers.

The King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership worked with con-sultant Parking Matters and main contractor Keir on the feel of thecar park. The car park’s interior has been lit to high standards.Parking Matters and Kier selected a smart lighting scheme for theHandyside car park. David Swainsbury, the development partnership’sproject manager explains: “When planning car park lighting wehave to be careful to take into account not just the costs of running

it, but also, the paramount consideration is the safety of all theusers. Ultimately we wanted a high quality lighting scheme, whichallows residence and shoppers to travel safely but also to savemoney in the operational running of the car park as an asset.”The project team selected Nualight’s Titan LED car park lighting

system for use in the car park. The Titan system has been designedto facilitate smart lighting control, yielding energy savings. Its‘batwing’ distribution ensures uniform illumination. Rod Balcombe, building services engineer, Kier Mechanical &

Electrical, says installation of the system went smoothly. “This isthe first time we have worked with Nualight and I found them to beproactive in getting design work done and the assistance they havegiven us in ordering the correct fittings and quantities. Materialswere readily available, with a fairly short lead-in time of 3-4 weeks.”The Titan LEDs are controlled by a Nualight system called DALI-

Park, which enable light levels to be set optimally from the verystart of the installation. Ben Cole, Nualight’s senior product designengineer, says: “Nualight eliminates the all too frequent need toover-light at the start of a products life, it then adjusts automaticallyto match daylight and occupancy levels. It’s an ‘easy fix and forget’solution with little to no reliance on manual intervention.” The King’s Cross partnership’s David Swainsbury values the

smart management of lighting. “DALIPark controls was one of themain features that impressed us,” he says. “The system overcomesthe typical cost and installation barriers associated with smartlighting controls in car parks. Time will tell, but we are expecting itto deliver exceptional lighting energy savings of up to 89% in com-parison to the same scheme with fluorescent fittings. We evenmanaged payback in under three years, which means that in notime they will be paying for themselves, an ideal solution for a carpark run as an asset.”

Protecting an investmentThe Handyside car park is a covered structure, protected fromthe elements, but its decks have been coated to protect themfrom the damage that could be caused by chloride ingresscaused by road salts and to provide a slip-resistant finish. Thesystem used was Sikafloor, a synthetic system produced by Sika,which was applied by specialist contractor Polydeck Resins. Intotal, some 12,000m2 of the Sikafloor 161 system was applied,and to create the aesthetic finish of the walls, the Sikafloor 18Pronto sealing coat was pigmented to the client’s chosencolour scheme.

Guy Hogg, managing director of Polydeck Resins, says:“Temperature was a challenge during the application, buthaving previously used Sikafloor-18 Pronto, we were confidentit would deliver and be more useable at lower temperatures.”

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

PARKING REVIEW | JANUARY 2018 | 25

The mass adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) couldradically change the way we travel and have a significantinfluence on the evolution of the urban and non-urbanlandscape. Without the need for human supervision or

operation, every person will be a passenger, and cars will be able todrive with no occupants at all. This will give drivers more leisuretime, widen mobility to citizens currently unable to drive andimprove road safety. One often overlooked, yet promising, benefitis the possibility of reclaimed parking space.

In reality, the automation of vehicles will be a gradual process in-volving a mix of autonomous, semi-autonomous and manualvehicles over a period of time. Partial automation (e.g. cruisecontrol, and traffic and parking assist) is already widely available.The speed of AV deployment on our roads is subject to muchdebate, which makes accurate predictions for mass adoptiondifficult. However, even if the precise timing remains uncertain, theautomation of vehicles is inevitable.

Rethinking the role of the carImagine this scenario: every two weeks, your grandmother ordersan autonomous vehicle service which drives her from her suburbanhome to the downtown core to get her hair styled. After she isdropped off at the hair salon, the vehicle continues next door topick up an individual from the local coffee shop and drives themacross town – no parking necessary.

Or imagine an alternative scenario where you use your ownprivate autonomous vehicle to travel to work in the downtowncore. While you are at work, your vehicle drives to a less expensive

Steer Davies Gleave and KPMG teamed up toproduce a series of articles that seek to betterunderstand the potential impacts of AVs onparking demand, location, operation andrevenues. Anita Mauchan and James Longfrom Steer Davies Gleave, have worked withAndrea Holmes from KPMG Canada toconsider potential outcomes, timings andalternative futures.

car park on the outer edges of the city. Since it is easily moved,vehicles are closely packed together, many blocking one another,fitting a large volume of vehicles into a smaller parking space – re-sulting in the relocation of parking and leading to potentiallycheaper parking fees.

While a lot has been written about AVs, the impact on parkinghas received relatively little attention. KPMG and Steer DaviesGleave have teamed up for this three-part series in order to betterunderstand the potential impacts of AVs on parking demand,location, operation and revenues.

Why does this matter? Understanding the potential impact of au-tonomous vehicles on parking assets is important for planners,private and public sector car park owners, as well as emerging AVfleet operators – all of whom can begin to identify future opportunitiesand threats to their current business models now.

How will AVs change parking? With the uptake of AVs, the need to park near one’s destination willno longer be necessary, potentially re-shaping land use on a massivescale:• There may no longer be a need for businesses, residentialbuildings, or any other facility to provide adjacent parking• Car parks could be relocated to cheaper spots on the edge oftown• The capacity of car parks will increase, cars will be able to parkefficiently nose to tail, side by side or stacked closely on top of eachother• AVs may not even need to park, simply driving around until theyare needed, or parking on the edge of roads, taking advantage ofAVs needing less road width to pass safely• Car parks may evolve from their current form into servicingcentres, where AVs are recharged, valeted and maintained.

What are the opportunities?With less requirements for parking, local authorities should havethe opportunity to design shared community spaces or cities andtowns with more green space and space devoted to cyclists andpedestrians. On the other side of this coin is the fear that AVscarrying greater numbers of non-drivers will lead to higher levels ofdemand, add to traffic congestion and exacerbate the problemsalready caused by non-AV vehicles.

Owners and investors of car parks may be able to increaserevenues by leveraging the additional capacity that AVs create. Re-location of car parks to the suburbs could release valuable realestate in the city core. As car parks potentially evolve into servicingcentres, there may be opportunities to negotiate deals with AV fleetoperators, providing a welcome alternative revenue stream.

What will influence the future?The degree of impact that AVs will have on mobility and the urbanlandscape will depend on a number of influencing factors:• Ownership model: The parking needs of privately-owned AVswill differ from shared AV fleets. Currently, the average privatelyowned vehicle in the United States is only utilised 5% of the time,while shared vehicles are estimated to have a utilisation rate closerto 40%. The private ownership model is likely to prevail during theearly stages of AV take-up, resulting in relatively minor changes toparking demand. But if shared ownership takes off, or privatevehicles are leased to others while not in use, it is likely thatparking demand will significantly decline as AVs spend more timeon the highways than parked in garages.• Public policy: Central and local government has the potential torestrict or promote AV development. It might be the case that re-strictions could be introduced that prevent AVs from operating inthe city core, or vice versa. AVs might be allowed in the core for

Predicting the impact on parkingPredicting the impact of AVs is a multi-faceted challenge given the uncertainties surrounding potential ownership models, marketacceptance and the public policy response, as outlined above. Various studies have attempted to model the impact of AVs on parkingdemand considering only the shared ownership model. We are interested in understanding the impact of all three.Therefore, we have chosen to present a qualitative review of future parking demand based on a set of three potential scenarios for

worlds where AVs are: privately-owned; shared with single-occupancy; and shared with multiple occupancy. A summary of the potentialimpacts of each scenario on parking demand is presented in the table.

CAMPUS PARKING

PARKING REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017 | 23

Universities must put parking to the test

International Parking Community audits offer way to ensure parking

rules are compliant, says University of York’s Fiona Macey

Universities and colleges fac

e an

ever growing demand for access

to parking space on their campuses.

In order to ensure their limited

parking supply is used by staff, students and

visitors with the most needs, many further

and higher education establishments have

introduced paid and permit parking controls,

which in turn depend on enforcement to be

effective. This is the case at the University of

York.A major challenge facing the managers of

university campuses is ensuring that their

parking controls are enforceable, says Fiona

Macey, the university’s sustainable travel and

transport manager. “Compliance with all rel-

evant legislation and getting things right

first time is vital when it comes to delivering

effective parking arrangements in and around

major centres of education,” she says.

“For many universities, parking has now

reached a pinch-point and the risks of over-

sight are very real. It’s not easy to provide

everyone who is using the university’s facilities

with the best possible parking experience

when there are so many factors to consider

and a finite and insufficient number of park-

ing spaces to meet demand.”

The parking rules, signs and lines that

are used on a campus need to comply with

the standards of an accredited trade associ-

ation (ATA). Adhering to an ATA’s code of

conduct means that where a parking charge

notice has been issued to penalise a breach

of regulations, the parking operator can ac-

cess vehicle keeper information from the

DVLA.In the University of York’s cas

e, it opted to

join the International Parking Community

(IPC), which audits each of the site’s member

organisations expected to issue parking

charge notices.“Without professional guidance

on the legal complexities, errors and inad-

vertent oversights can prove to be very costly

and severely compromise the reputation and

credibility of a university and also undermine

future sustainable transport initiatives,” says

Macey.As well as auditing all signa

ge and road

markings, the IPC provides comprehensive

legal advice that takes account of all legislation

and the specific requirements of different

universities.

Macey’s experience of working with the

IPC led to her agreeing to join the trade as-

sociation’s steering committee. She is keen

to see more universities and colleges join the

association and make use of its expertise.

“We’re not parking experts. That’s why pro-

fessional insight and reassurance is so in-

valuable. Indeed, here in York, we have seen

compliance with parking regulations and cus-

tomer satisfaction levels increase significantly.

Accessibility has also improved and delays

with campus deliveries and for service users

have greatly reduced as a result of this new

and more considered approach to parking.

“Because of the competition between uni-

versities for fee-paying students and the ex-

pectations of students, staff and visitors, cut-

ting corners and crossing fingers is no longer

an option for managing parking operations

for both city centre and campus universities.

“Now, the reassurance of professional guid-

ance and pre-audits is readily available to

help universities comply with all relevant

regulations and the principles of best practice.

So, there really isn’t any excuse for perpetu-

ating or introducing unfair and unlawful

parking practices.”

The IPC held a special education sector

conference in Cheshire last year. Following

that conference, work started on developing

specific professional standards for universities

and other large centres of education.

There was also a break-out session for the

educational sector at this year’s IPC confer-

ence, which was held in Nottingham on

2 November.

Nottingham City Council hasunveiled the designs of the newBroadmarsh bus station and carpark, which will provide 1,397parking spaces, almost 250 morethan in the previous car park.The city council said the devel-opment will significantly improvethe approach to the city centrefrom Nottingham Station.The car park includes charging

points on each floor for electriccars, with infrastructure in placeto increase these as usage ofelectric cars increases. Solar pan-els will be installed on the roofof the building so it will generateand use its own energy. A mix of natural and mechan-

ical ventilation will ensure cir-culation of clean air in the build-ing for its customers.New retail units, with double

height windows, will face on toCollin Street and CarringtonStreet, which will be pedestri-anised under the Broadmarshplans. This will complement theexisting city centre offer of shopsand the intu Broadmarsh redevelopment.

In addition, an application hasbeen submitted for consent tooperate three digital screens aspart of the façade of the Broad-marsh Car Park. These wouldbe installed on the corners ofthe building at Collin Street andMiddle Hill, Collin Street andCarrington Street and finally atCanal Street and CarringtonStreet.Cllr Jon Collins, leader of the

City Council, said: “We want anappealing, modern and brightnew building on the reinvigo-

rated Broadmarsh landscape.The redeveloped building willinclude a new bus station, promi-nent high quality shops that willboost the area and complementthe redevelopment. Additionalcar parking spaces will give thecity more of what it needs andmean more people will be ableto visit the new Broadmarsharea.”The council is seeking a con-

tractor to build the bus stationand multi-storey car park on thesite of the former Broadmarsh

car park on a design & build basis.The public are being invited

to comment on the designs aspart of the planning applicationprocess. The designs will be con-sidered at a planning committeeon 21 February 2018.The project site also has the

The DVLA sold 1,429,703 vehiclekeeper records to private parkingfirms in the second quarter of2017-18, the RAC Foundationhas revealed. The motoring or-ganisation calculates that this is1,177% (or almost 13 times) high-er than the 111,944 records solda decade earlier in the secondquarter of 2007-08.

The information is used byparking companies to pursue ve-hicle owners for parking chargenotices (PCNs) of up to £100 is-sued to drivers who have in-fringed parking regulations onprivate land. “These latest figuressuggest quarter three will be abumper period for parking firmsas it includes the run up to Christ-mas and the pre-New Year sales,”said Steve Gooding, director ofthe RAC Foundation.

“Given past trends the RACFoundation believes the final fig-ure for the number of recordssold by the DVLA to private park-

ing companies in 2017-18 willbe at least 5.6m and could easilybe more than 6m. This compareswith the 4.71m records sold toprivate parking companies in thelast financial year, 2016-17. In2007-08 the total was 499,732.

Wheel clamping vehicles onprivate land without lawful au-thority was banned in Englandand Wales by the Protection ofFreedoms Act (PoFA) in October2012. In order to enable landown-ers to deter misuse of their prop-erty, the government made vehicle

keepers liable for PCNs issuedon private land.

The DVLA will provide parkingoperators with vehicle keeperdata relating to unpaid PCNs is-sued on private land if the oper-ator is a member of accreditedtrade associations the BritishParking Association or Interna-tional Parking Community.

In the second quarter of 2017-18 operator ParkingEye requestedthe largest amount of data –466,668 vehicle keeper records –or one-third of all requests made.

ParkingEye is owned by Capita.The RAC Foundation’s Steve

Gooding said: “We all like tothink we will bag a bargain atthis time of year, but our festiveshopping could come at a veryhigh price. Private parking firmsare already issuing tickets at anunprecedented rate and if historyis anything to go by they will bebreaking yet more records in theweeks ahead.

“Drivers should be very waryof overstaying their welcome inprivate car parks by even a matterof moments, and they should notgive these firms any other reasonto come after them with demandsfor eye-watering sums which willspoil their Christmas. Privateparking companies do not allowa grace period at the end of yourparking time – even at Christmas.

“Early in the New Year theHouse of Commons is expectedto debate Sir Greg Knight MP’sPrivate Members’ Bill, whichaims to rein in the worst excessesof parking firms and set a fairerbalance between the rights ofdrivers and the rights of landowners.”

Over 6m parking notices could be issued on private land, warns RAC FoundationMotoring bodyconcern at increase inrequests for DVLA data

Students create green spacewith Indigo at hospitalStudents from Cornwall College have won a landscapingcompetition run by parking company Indigo that has seen alightwell at Derriford Hospital transformed into a meeting spacefor patients and visitors.The Lightwell Design Competition was organised by Indigo

with the aim of improving the patient and visitor experience bytransforming what was an untended space near the mainentrance to the hospital.The students from Cornwall College worked with Indigo’s

head groundskeeper, Emma Parsons, to realise their design. Stuart Roberts, Indigo operations manager at Derriford

Hospital, said: “It was great to see the students from CornwallCollage transform one of the garden areas within DerrifordHospital based on a design from one of the class. Thegroundwork is complementary of the hospital in its values andwe are proud to have been part of such a worthwhile project.”

Train operator Southeasternbagged two trophies at the Na-tional Cycle-Rail awards pre-sented at Methodist Central Hall,Westminster last month. South-eastern took the coveted Opera-tor of the Year award as well asBest Station of the Year for itswork in improving bike parkingfacilities at Gravesend Station.

The awards, hosted by theRail Delivery Group (RDG), cel-ebrate the work done by the railindustry and associated organi-sations to encourage integratedcycle-rail travel.

Station of the Year Gravesendprovides secure parking for 220bikes at its Cycle Hub, developedin partnership with Kent CountyCouncil, Gravesham BoroughCouncil, Network Rail, Sustransand local charity CycloparkTrust.

Levels of cycle parking haveincreased by around 48% sincethe hub opened, reports South-eastern. It added that 85% ofpassengers are now satisfiedwith the station’s cycling facili-ties.

Southeastern took the Oper-ator of the Year prize for its“great commitment” to cus-tomers and “brilliant attitudetowards cycling”, said the awardsjudges. They noted that South-eastern provides: a 220-spacesecure decked cycle hub at Ash-ford; a secure hub for 40 cycles,65 cycle pods and 20 two-tierracks at Dartford; and a secure

cycle hub for 262 bikes at Ton-bridge. Southeastern reports ithas put £4.6m of funding intocreating 1,246 cycle spaces from2015 to 2017.

Meanwhile, TranspennineExpress (TPE) took the awardfor Door to Door Journeys, In-cluding Station Travel Plans.TPE has set out a “clear and ac-tionable” plan for better inte-gration between trains servicesand local transport services, saidthe judges. The operator hasproduced nine Station TravelPlans in the past year and isdue to complete a further 10 inthe next nine months.

The Partnership Working andLocal Government Schemesaward went to Dunblane Sta-tion, Sustrans Scotland andStirling Council. The judgeswere impressed by the “ambi-tious redesign” of the stationforecourt and street linked toDunblane station. The changesresulted in a more “user-friendly,inclusive and welcoming envi-ronment to encourage people

to walk and cycle to and fromthe station”.

The Innovation award waspresented to MerseyRail for itswork in supporting cyclists dur-ing track replacements in thetunnel under the Mersey thatconnects the Wirral to the citycentre. MerseyRail worked withArriva North West to provide a“bike bus” service; a bus fittedwith eight bike holders ran anhourly service between stationsduring the track renewal project.

The London Borough ofWaltham Forest took the CycleSecurity award for Leyton CycleHub. The hub, designed andbuilt by Cyclepods, is part ofthe council’s wide-ranging MiniHolland programme to encour-age walking and cycling. It isthe only hub to hold ‘securedby design’ (SBD) accreditation,a crime prevention initiative op-erated by UK police services.The SBD’s requirements includelaminated and toughened glassand a secure, automated doorsystem.

CrossCountry Trains clinchedthe Best Customer Service awardfor a new system that allowspassengers to reserve bike spaceson board services through socialmedia channels. Previously, cus-tomers had to call an 0844 num-ber or visit a ticket office to re-serve a space. They are now en-couraged to make reservationson Twitter, Facebook or via anonline portal.

Steve Smith of Stagecoachwas named Cycle Champion. Asstation development manager atSouth Western Railway (SWR),he headed a team that deliveredcycle facility improvements at36 stations across the networkduring 2016 and 2017. This hasincluded an extra 1,400 spacesand eight new cycle hubs. Acycle survey of SWR customersrevealed a large rise in cycle us-age at stations including a 105%increase at Brookwood, Surreysince 2016.

RDG chief executive PaulPlummer said the awards recog-nise excellence, inspire betterfacilities, improve communica-tion and spread best practiceacross the rail industry.

“Cycle-rail continues to be agreat rail industry success. Since2010, the number of rail journeyswith a bike has increased by42%, and there are now 77,000cycle parking spaces across thenetwork.”

The DfT recently granted theRDG a further £5m to managecycle-rail infrastructure, hepointed out. “This will imple-ment additional cycle parkingspaces, cycle facilities and se-curity features to keep customersand their cycles safe and secureat stations.”

NParking professionals honoured at the Palace

Two leading parking professionals

recognised in the Queen’s Birth-

day Honours attended Bucking-

ham Palace to collect their

medals. Caroline Sheppard, chief

adjudicator of the Traffic Penalty

Tribunal was presented with an

OBE, while Anjna Patel, principal

officer at Sandwell Council, re-

ceived an MBE.

The Honours List recognises

individuals who have excelled in

various endeavours and have

brought distinction to British life.

Caroline Sheppard was award-

ed an OBE for services to mo-

torists in what is the 25th year of

her serving as a chief parking

adjudicator. “I am utterly delight-

ed to accept this honour for my

services to motorists,” said Shep-

pard. “I have devoted much of

my judicial career to promoting

access to civil justice for motorists

and to working within an adju-

dication system that is fair, pro-

portionate and transparent. It is

marvellous to see this being recog-

nised with this honour.”

Anjna Patel has had a long ca-

reer in parking. She started out

as a traffic warden and worked

her way up to area controller,

becoming one of the first officers

from an ethnic minority to be

promoted to that level. She joined

Sandwell Council in 1986 as a

road safety officer, playing an

important role in ensuring that

when the council took on de-

criminalised parking enforcement

powers in 2000 the service was

run efficiently and equitably.

“I am so humbled to receive

this honour, but an award like

this is not just for one person, it

is for all my colleagues and peers

working together to deliver an

excellent service. Parking seldom

receives a positive press, so for

the sector to be recognised in

this way is gratifying,” said Patel.

“There are lots of women work-

ing in parking, many of whom

are not as supported or recognised

as they should be. This award is

also a reminder that there is still

a very real need to break that

glass ceiling.”

A secure cycle parking systemthat sees a rack of bikes over-looked by a lighting post equippedwith CCTV cameras has been un-veiled. Shuffle Cycle has been de-veloped by lighting companySchréder UK working in collab-oration with cycle parking spe-cialist H-B Designs.The Shuffle Cycle docking sta-

tions are overlooked by a talllighting post that features an LEDlight ring that indicates the avail-ability of spaces from a distance.The Shuffle Cycle post comeswith in-built CCTV, a public ad-dress system, Wi-Fi connectivityand electric charging ports. The cycle docks have been

equipped with H-B Designs’patented Softdock technology,which means bikes are protectedfrom damage with a protectiverubber sleeve and the parkingsystem can be tailored to fit anyavailable space using single ordouble-sided docking. The dock’sretracting locking handle systemsecures bikes fully with only onelock, resulting in safe, organisedparking.

Schréder UK believes ShuffleCycle will give cyclists confidenceto park in public spaces. It pointsout there were 297,000 reportedcases of bicycle theft in Englandand Wales in 2016.Adam Rice, marketing manager

at Schréder UK, said: “Local au-thorities have long been chal-

lenged to provide a greater senseof security to the growing cyclingcommunity. By working in part-nership with H-B Designs, theShuffle Cycle combines the mostadvanced LED lighting technologywith a unique, space-efficientparking solution to provide a safeoutdoor space for cyclists to use.”

Weight limit checksystem for bridgeAn ANPR-based traffic enforcementsystem has been introduced byTrading Standards in Oxfordshire tohelp protect one of the oldest rivercrossings on the River Thames atNewbridge.

The Siemens solution identifiestraffic that exceeds the weightlimit on the A415 betweenAbingdon and Witney, and can alsomaintain an enforcement scheduleand permitted vehicle lists. Theschedule will allow for selectedenforcement periods required forother types of restriction, with thepermitted vehicle lists identifyingcouncil vehicles that are permittedto use the route irrespective oftheir weight limit, such as refusecollection, emergency response orroad maintenance vehicles.

Imagine, for a moment, a time when your residents and visitors are able to trade with your local community, visit local landmarks, shops and attractions without fear of inadvertently falling foul of local regulations.Paul Moorby, Managing Director, Chipside

The Chipside team

It is a testament to dedication that the Chipside senior team is the same core that launched the company and its first local authority commission in 2003. This stability provides the company with a significant management resource that is valued and trusted by its customers.

Paul Moorby heads the team as Managing Director. Paul has worked in ICT and management for over 30 years, with 20 years specialising in parking management ICT. Paul is regularly invited to senior governmental international events.

Richy Clements, Director of Innovation Lab, looks after the design and delivery of products and services. Richy was invited to the Apple Development Conference in San Francisco to work on new strategies for the UK. “We recognise that Chipside

is more than just our team, working in isolation,” says Richy. ”We can call on the combined resources of 130 local authorities: that’s 130 parking managers, 130 security and ICT teams and over 1,500 Civil Enforcement Officers, all helping us to shape the future.”

Simon Cheung is Head of Local Government Operations. As a qualified Prince2 project manager, Simon looks after a range of local authority projects.

Z Matthews is Head of Technical Support, monitoring the ongoing performance of every Chipside system nationwide.

Jim Newman is Senior Development Manager, managing a number of development portfolios.

Dave Wright is Head of Business Services, looking after the busy national

public-facing call centre and business services division.

Mike Anstey recently joined the senior team as Head of Mobile Computing, looking after the needs of the 1,500 CEOs deployed across England and Wales. Mike is enthusiastic about new hardware platforms coming on stream: “With the back office systems now deployed on tablets in field, increasing efficiency for all, and smart CCTV integrated into the grid, we are backed by valued supply chain partners covering all elements of the Chipside portfolio.”

Chipside has now grown to 26 staff, and is about to grow again to meet demand. It recently moved to a purpose-built head office in Wiltshire, giving the company room for further growth towards an ambitious goal of 50% market share in the next few years.

Chipside is growing. Our client base stands at over 130 non-London councils. Our systems manage the activities of over 1,500 CEOs. The company also provides services to parking contractors accredited to local authorities. Our mission is to create services that meet the needs of clients and stakeholders, meaning we place a lot of importance on engaging with our family of service users. We hope that you will choose to join this network soon. Chipside is consistent: The senior management and development team has worked together for over a decade. The company has a public service ethos. The company is also a community-minded venture, building up its workforce in a rural location. Chipside is respected: The company has a loyal following – its clients put together the nomination that won it a British Parking Award. Its reputation is growing, with the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) presenting Chipside as a key innovator in the digital and city management space on the international scene – the company has spoken at events in Singapore, at the World Expo in Milan and the first Middle East trade summit to be held in London.

Chipside is evolving: The company has been an advocate of the power of ‘Big Data’ and ‘Open Data’, launching a smart cities concept called Oppidatim. This is a smart city grid approach which enables local authorities to deliver a wide range of services residents, businesses, visitors and partner organisations across a variety of platforms, including the web, smartphones, customer counters, CEOs and local ambassadors.

Chipside is Oppidatim: Cornerstone services provided by Chipside include cashless parking payments, virtual permits for residents and businesses, and parking data collection. Oppidatim is both customer-facing and enhancing communications between local authority departments and other agencies.

Oppidatim is bigger than Chipside: The Oppidatim grid can also be used by local authorities to support, connect and deliver all manner of other services supplied by libraries, highways, planning departments, environmental health and Trading Standards.
