Car park lighting in Ellon

Local car park lighting in Ellon
Many car parks around Ellon still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
We programme car park works in Ellon around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
We cover the whole of Ellon, including the AB41 postcode district, and nearby places such as Dyce, Bridge of Don and Inverurie.
