Local car park lighting in Wimborne Minster
Footpaths from Wimborne Minster car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Wimborne Minster 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.
Wimborne Minster is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts BH18, BH21 and BH17. We regularly work across Dorset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
