Footpaths from Tain car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Tain around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Tain is a local centre, covered by postcode district IV19. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Tain 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.
