In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Longfield sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Longfield
We programme car park works in Longfield around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Longfield car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Longfield, including the DA3, DA13 and DA4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hartley, Meopham Station and Horton Kirby.
