Local car park lighting in Stranraer
Footpaths from Stranraer car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Stranraer around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Stranraer premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
