Delivery to Ledbury: what helps

Bags come on a shrink-wrapped pallet or as part of a mixed load; keep them covered once dropped. Ledbury 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.
• On busy streets in Ledbury, 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.
