As a part of a one-of-a-kind initiative for promoting the overall reduction in carbon levels, between the 18’th and the 22’nd of September, multi-storey Town Centre Car Parks (TCCP) at 30 Tariff Street on the easterly reaches of Manchester’s Northern Quarter has decided to accept conkers in exchange for parking.
As a news report in the local media has revealed, one conker was valued at 20p, and the unusual scheme was capped at a maximum of £10 (which equates to around 50 conkers). TCCP will then sponsor a forest in the UK to help offset the rising levels of carbon emissions from vehicles.
Ben Ziff, Managing Director of Town Centre Car Parks says: “Car emissions are on the rise throughout the country. We thought it would be a fun idea to raise awareness and give a little bit back. We all have fond memories of looking for conkers so this seemed like a great idea for our customers. We are looking forward to seeing how many people bring us.”
Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles has an extensive experience developing and installing access restriction solutions designed specifically for car parks.
The vehicle barriers developed by Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles can work in any weather, are able to immediately recognise authorised personnel and are supplied complete and ready to accept power and data connections.

Last, but certainly not least, it’s important to mention that the automatic car park barriers provided by Car Park Barriers & Turnstiles can also be fitted with a number of useful extras, such as a folding arm mechanism, impact release mechanism or hanging racks / barrier skirts.
