Before we dig in Chalfont St Peter
The highway authority for local roads in Chalfont St Peter is Buckinghamshire Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Chalfont St Peter need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Buckinghamshire Council before posts go in.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- After an incident where a bollard struck a vehicle or person, revisit the risk assessment and safety settings before returning it to use.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.

- Parts required and their availability

After installation
After a repair, consider a planned maintenance arrangement if the bollard has no service history. Tell anyone resurfacing or digging nearby where loops, ducts and drains run.
