Industry: Carillion looks out for Wolverhampton City Centre
Having recently bought the car park from Wolverhampton City Council, Carillion were keen to improve the security both to staff and vehicles. As a public facility, the car park had previously had problems with vagrants seeking shelter and with vandalism to vehicles.
Another issue to consider was the adjacent drugs drop in centre, a place for drug addicts to get off the streets and have a place to stay for the night. Users of the facility would wait outside during the day until it opened. Carillion didn’t want this to create problems, both in terms of crime and of intimidation of staff.
"The idea was to eradicate any issues associated with staff safety," explains Paul Melsom, Facilities Manager of Carillion. "After looking at all the options, we decided that installing a high quality CCTV system, monitored 24/7, was the most effective solution."
