Consents, ground and services in Weston-super-Mare
North Somerset Council is the highway authority covering Weston-super-Mare's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Weston-super-Mare is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (North Somerset Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Resurfacing contractors often cut through loops and ducts without realising they are there, so it is worth pointing them out before any roadworks. 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.
- 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.
What happens on site
Describe the fault
Tell us what the bollard is doing, any lights or messages on the controller, recent weather or roadworks, and send photographs of the bollard, pit and controller.
Make the entrance safe
On arrival, the crew makes the bollard and entrance safe, lowering or securing it as agreed with you and coning the area.
Quote and repair
Simple faults within the visit are fixed on the day. Where parts or further work are needed, we quote them in writing and complete the repair once approved.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Heads and covers | Replacement heads, covers, reflective bands and light rings after impact damage. |
| Controller and electrics | Power supplies, control boards, contactors, batteries and wiring, with a qualified electrician for supply work. |
| Make safe | Locking the bollard down or securing it up, with cones and signs, so the entrance is safe while a repair is arranged. |
