Local car park lighting in Newton Aycliffe
Footpaths from Newton Aycliffe car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Newton Aycliffe 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 cover the whole of Newton Aycliffe, including the DL5 and DL4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Shildon, Ferryhill and Bishop Auckland.
