Local car park lighting in Stanhope
We programme car park works in Stanhope around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Older columns in Stanhope sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
For Stanhope premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
