Local car park lighting in Southwold
Footpaths from Southwold car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Southwold sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
For Southwold premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
