Description
Swindon Borough Council invites you to contribute to preliminary market engagement in relation to the provision of the removal and installation of current and new street light columns and associated groundworks and electrical connections and disconnections, yearly clean and electrical testing, night patrol and Ad-Hoc repairs.
