Permissions and groundwork in Cleckheaton
In Cleckheaton, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Kirklees Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Cleckheaton is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Kirklees Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- 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.

Keep vehicles and people clear and do not try to force it. If you have a manual release key and know the procedure, you can lower it; otherwise cone it off. Then contact us with photographs and a description so we can price the visit.
