What we check first in Prestatyn
Local roads and pavements in Prestatyn are the responsibility of Denbighshire County 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 Prestatyn is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Denbighshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Servicing rarely needs excavation, but the condition of the ground around the bollard tells a lot about its health.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.

Looking after them
After snow, clear around the head before use. Between service visits, site staff can do a lot to keep bollards reliable: keep the head and surrounding road clear of leaves and grit, report any change in speed, noise or behaviour, keep a note of faults with the date and time, and never bypass or disconnect safety devices to keep an entrance open.
If posts in Prestatyn are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
