In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Chesterton around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Chesterton
Footpaths from Chesterton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
For Chesterton retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Chesterton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts OX25, OX6 and OX26. We regularly work across Oxfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
