Car park lighting in Whitley Bay

Local car park lighting in Whitley Bay
We programme car park works in Whitley Bay around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Footpaths from Whitley Bay car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Whitley Bay is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts NE26, NE30 and NE25. We regularly work across Tyne and Wear, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
