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