Permissions and groundwork in Cambuslang
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Cambuslang means South Lanarkshire Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
Many private-land installations in Cambuslang 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 South Lanarkshire Council before posts go in.
Cracked or sunken surfacing around a cassette can indicate a failing foundation or water washing out the sub-base. Loops fail when the road surface around them cracks or is patched, so loop condition is checked alongside surface condition.
- Test emergency service access arrangements periodically and after any change to the controls.
- Have electrical faults and modifications handled by a qualified electrician, to BS 7671.

Looking after them
If the road around the bollard is being resurfaced, tell us beforehand so loops and ducts can be protected or reinstated. If the site changes how the entrance is used, such as longer opening hours or heavier delivery vehicles, mention it before the next visit so the service frequency and safety settings can be reconsidered.
