Local car park lighting in Bootle
Many car parks around Bootle 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 Bootle car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Our teams travel to Bootle from across Merseyside. Typical nearby jobs include Litherland, Crosby and Kirkdale, so we can often combine survey visits.
