The route around the car park is set out with drivers turningleft at entrance and travelling in a clockwise direction.4. Are there any blind spots for vehicle users, There are no blind spots; the car park is in an open rectangularpedestrians?area free from obstructions.However there is blind spot created on the entry / exit routeby drivers parking along this route.5. Can pedestrians access and leave the Centresafely?Consider double yellow lines along this route.The entrance to the centre is a pedestrian area with the carpark approx 5m away. A pavement runs around the extremityof the car park with exception of the entrance/ exit. Access tothe central belt of parking spaces is across road way there is nopavement access.6. Is there a safe drop off and pick up point for There is no provision made for buses however it is possible forchildren travelling by bus?buses to park alongside the pavement (with the pavement onleft side) allowing children to disembark/ embark onto busessafely.7. Is there a risk through vehicles reversing? Vehicles may reverse either into or out of parking spaces and8. Is the surface of the car park maintainedand free from damaging pot holes and triphazards?9. Is the lighting sufficient for pedestrians tobe seen easily?10. Does the design and vegetation outside theCentre increase the risk of assault?11. Is there safe access for deliveries andload/unload for events?12. Has the car park been designed andilluminated to minimise the risk of assault?there is no reasonable way to eliminate this from happening.The surface of the car park is well maintained and is free frompot holes and trip hazards. Car park bays are painted ratherthan separated by physical barriers. Centre staff are able to deicethe immediate area of the centre during colder weather.The car park is well lit. The entire area is covered by lights andthere are no dark spots.The entrance area and surrounds is open with limitedvegetation, it is covered by CCTV 24hrs a day.There is a suitable delivery point at the rear of the centre awayfrom public access areas and parking spaces.The lack of blind spots and sufficient lighting as well as CCTVsurveillance will minimise the risk of assault.Likelihood Rating 2 Risk Rating 6RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RISK REDUCTION
