Before we dig in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
The highway authority for local roads in Kirkby-in-Ashfield is Nottinghamshire County 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 Kirkby-in-Ashfield 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 the council for Ashfield before posts go in.
Pits flood when drains silt up, soakaways fail or pipes collapse, and the repair may involve jetting or relaying a drain as well as replacing water-damaged parts. 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.
- Have electrical repairs carried out by a qualified electrician to BS 7671.
- Collect and clean up hydraulic fluid leaks properly to avoid contaminating drains and ground.
