Car park lighting in Cottingham
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Cottingham 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.
Local car park lighting in Cottingham
We programme car park works in Cottingham around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Cottingham car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Cottingham, including the HU16, HU6 and HU10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Rowley, Beverley and Hessle.
