Local car park lighting in Gorseness
We programme car park works in Gorseness around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Many car parks around Gorseness 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.
Gorseness is a local centre, covered by postcode district KW17. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Gorseness by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
