Where Lakes buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Lakes is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district LA22. We regularly work across Cumbria, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
