Getting ballast and gravel onto your Ellesmere Port site

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Ellesmere Port is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Ellesmere Port, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
