Planning the drop in Lytham St Annes

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• On busy streets in Lytham St Annes, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
