Car park lighting in Wilden

Local car park lighting in Wilden
We programme car park works in Wilden around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Wilden 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.
Wilden is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts MK44, MK41 and MK40. We regularly work across Bedfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
