What we check first in Pyle
Before digging near the kerb in Pyle we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Bridgend County Borough Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Bridgend County Borough Council) first — we flag this at survey.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Silt and grit washed in from the surrounding road are a steady source of wear, so where the road drains towards the bollard, a small change such as a channel or gully nearby can reduce how much debris reaches the pit.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.

Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |

| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
