BPA PREPARES TO STAND AND DELIVER
Patrick Troy sets out the BPA’s stall for the future development of the Association
T
he Council of the BPA – the people you elect to represent your interests in running your association – has
been focused on how the BPA can deliver more for its members and, in particular, how it can service the needs of individuals as well as corporate bodies.
As a result the Council has agreed a way forward and a full consultation, involving all members, is under way with presentations taking place at special interest groups or regional or national meetings. We are seeking members’ views on how we can deliver the BPA’s new strategy, which is focusing on three key issues: Placing the customer at the heart of our thinking;
Informing and infl uencing government; and Seeking ways of making parking a recognised profession.
I believe we have already made signifi cant strides towards achieving professional status, but one principal issue is how we can put individuals at the centre of the BPA strategy. To achieve this, the Council proposes that it ceases to operate the Institute of Parking Professionals but instead creates an individual membership category within the BPA itself. The BPA is now recognised and understood by government and stakeholder circles, so by
www.britishparking.co.uk
We need your views on how
this principle could be applied in your own area of the parking profession
broadening its appeal to individuals, as well as to corporate bodies, we will strengthen its foundation going forward. The benefi ts to this are detailed on the website and in the presentations referred to earlier. We have also set out how we can drive forward higher standards within the sector in a meaningful way through the development of something we have called frameworks of excellence. These frameworks are a quality demonstration of professional commitment
through the use of licenses to practice, kitemarks and other quality accreditations. We need your views on how this principle could be applied in your own area of the parking profession. The survey is on the BPA website and I urge you to make your voice heard. The Council will consider the responses to the consultation during its September meeting, and plan a strategy for the future of the association. I look forward to seeing a vibrant, effective and democratic association, achieving both the needs of corporate members and of individuals working for those organisations as well.

BRING ON THE OLYMPICS
Overcoming Road Restrictions to continue Bailiff Enforcement.
The Olympic Traffic routes, which include temporary banned turns and heavily congested pedestrian crossings, will not cause problems for Collect Services carrying out Bailiff Visits throughout the duration of the games.
Collect Services, already pioneers in the use of ‘Collections’ digital map Bailiff routing software supplied by MapMechanics, currently undertake an average of 48 Visits per Bailiff everyday throughout London and within the M25.
With the impact of the Olympics on traffic route restrictions in and around London during July to September, MapMechanics have released the new ‘Street Routing and Postcodes – Special 2012 edition’ data that helps to circumvent these potential issues. The data takes account of; the Core Olympic Road Network (ORN), ‘Games Lanes’ (restricted or no access roads), an Alternative ORN, 160 new temporary banned turns, Traffic Hotspots with high pedestrian footfall and unit post code points along and trapped within the ORN.
By using ‘Collections’ Collect Services can plan alternative routes and schedules within those areas that could be affected during the games and anticipate minimum disruption to the continued provision of its services to its Clients and Customers.
