Local car park lighting in Lochdon
Footpaths from Lochdon car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Lochdon around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Lochdon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Lochdon by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
