STOCKTON Borough Council car parks have gained Secured Car Park status for the fifth year in succession.
They were given the status after it emerged that of 30 vehicle-related crimes in the town last month, none took place in any of the authority's sites.
Spokesman Nigel Gibb said the awards would let residents and tourists feel safer when using the car parks.
