Alfia help cut explosion in vandalism in East Sussex

April 2008
 

East Sussex County Council had a ongoing problem with vandalism to their machines in the area.  The installed base of Pay and Display machines were being regularly damaged by the action of some local vandals.  The machines coin and ticket slots were being packed with powerful explosives and when set off the machines were severely damaged or destroyed.  The total damage cost to the Council for the last three years was in excess of £350,000 excluding lost revenue, a situation which could not be tolerated. 

Alfia were confident that their robust Vision SI machine would withstand such attacks and were selected to supply and install around 200 of their machines in East Sussex.  Whilst the machines suffered the same abuse as its predecessors the damage caused was minimal, under £2,000.00 from April 2007 – December 2007, with lost revenue hardly affected. 

Further development work has taken place with Crimestoppers, the Police, the Fire and Rescue Services and the Enforcement Contractor NCP which will virtually eliminate damage with such attacks.

Roger Woodward, Head of Parking at East Sussex County Council comments “Alfia’s confidence and commitment in helping resolve our difficult situation has been of huge benefit to the Council.  The Vision SI is a tremendous product, very reliable, easy to maintain as well as being so robust.

This project was nominated and shortlisted for the BPA Innovation Award.
