Car park lighting in Nethy Bridge
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Nethy Bridge 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.

We programme car park works in Nethy Bridge around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Older columns in Nethy Bridge sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Nethy Bridge, including the PH25 and PH24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Boat of Garten, Grantown-on-Spey and Aviemore.
We cover Nethy Bridge 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.
