Delivering ballast and gravel in Llandrindod Wells

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• On busy streets in Llandrindod Wells, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
