Consents, ground and services in Milford Haven
Local roads and pavements in Milford Haven are the responsibility of Pembrokeshire 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.
Many private-land installations in Milford Haven 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 Pembrokeshire County Council 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 safety devices tested and working; a bollard with disabled or faulty safety loops or photocells should not stay in service.
- For crash-rated automatic bollards, follow the manufacturer's maintenance requirements so the bollard continues to perform as tested.

Service and test
The pit, drainage, drive, electrics, safety devices and access inputs are serviced and tested, and the controller log is read.
Report and recommend
You receive a written report of what was checked and found. Any repair needed is quoted separately in writing for your approval.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Electro-mechanical servicing | Motor, gearbox, couplings and sensor checks, with adjustment of limits and positions. |
| Visit frequency | Set by how often the bollards cycle and the site's risk; busy or security sites usually need more frequent visits. |
| One-off service visit | A single paid service, useful for bollards with no recent history or before a decision about a contract. |
Pricing automatic bollard service visits in Milford Haven
Two Milford Haven jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Access control equipment to be tested
- Number of bollards and controllers
- Traffic management needed on live roads
After installation
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. After snow, clear around the head before use.
If posts in Milford Haven are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.
