Before we dig in Bellshill
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Bellshill means North Lanarkshire Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Bellshill is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Lanarkshire Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- 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.
