Overview

Following a recent short notice call from a local contractor who was undertaking some works (Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980) on behalf of Cumbria Highways, we was requested to attend site the following morning to relocate 3 street lights which were currently in the wrong position on a recently extended footway outside the new buildings for Furness College, Barrow-in-Furness.

Having recently undertaken a major street lighting project within the area, Cumbria Highways knew DSD were capable of get the job done quickly and professionally to keep inline with the required time scales and competent in liaising closely with the utility company. We hope that this will lead to a closer relationship with Cumbria Council and Cumbria Highways.
