Consents, ground and services in Coalville
In Coalville, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Leicestershire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
Many private-land installations in Coalville need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for North West Leicestershire before posts go in.
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.
- Keep written records of each service, including tests of safety devices and emergency functions.
- Keep safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
What happens on site
Tell us about the installation
Send the make and model if known, the number of bollards, how busy the entrance is and any current problems, with photographs of the bollards and controller.
Agree the visit or contract
We price a one-off visit or a contract in writing, with the visit frequency suggested for your usage. Nothing is booked until you have agreed it.
Plan around the entrance
Visits are planned to keep the entrance usable, usually servicing one lane or bollard at a time, with cones and staff on hand while a bollard is out of service.

What happens if the service finds a fault?
It is recorded in the report and quoted separately in writing. You decide whether to go ahead. Small adjustments within the service scope are made during the visit.
