What we check first in Pontypridd
Local roads and pavements in Pontypridd are the responsibility of Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
If your site in Pontypridd is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough 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. Where a vehicle impact has cracked the cassette's foundation, the concrete may need breaking out and recasting before the bollard can safely return to use.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, involve the manufacturer where repairs could affect tested performance.
- 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.
