Consents, ground and services in Wallasey
In Wallasey, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Wirral Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Wallasey is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wirral Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many automatic bollard faults start in the ground. Loops fail when surfaces crack, sink or are patched; replacing a loop in a broken surface without repairing the surface first just leads to another failure.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
- Do not keep a bollard in service with faulty or bypassed safety devices; make it safe and lock it down or out of use until repaired.

Our bollard rose under a car: what happens next?
Take it out of service and keep it lowered or secured. The safety loops, photocells and settings are checked to find out why it rose, and the damage is assessed. It should not return to use until the cause is fixed and the risk assessment reviewed.

Yes. New loops are cut into the sound surface, connected and the detectors retuned. If the surface around them is damaged, it is repaired first so the new loops last.
