Before we dig in Cleethorpes
The highway authority for local roads in Cleethorpes is North East Lincolnshire Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
Many private-land installations in Cleethorpes 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 North East Lincolnshire Council before posts go in.
Pedestals need small concrete bases set plumb so readers stay at the right height. Ducts between the controller, readers and cameras usually cross footways and verges where services run, so routes are traced before digging and draw pits are placed where runs change direction.
- If you use ANPR or video, check your obligations for handling personal data, including signage, a privacy notice and how long records are kept.
- Keep access requests and safety devices separate, so an access device can never force a bollard to rise while a vehicle is over it.
Installation, step by step
Understand the users
At the free site survey we ask who uses the entrance, how many, how often they change, and how visitors and deliveries arrive. That decides the entry method, and a fixed written quote follows.
Lay ducts and pedestals
Ducts are laid from the controller to each device, and pedestals or posts are set in concrete. Loops for exit and detection are cut and sealed.
Hand over
You are shown how to add and remove users, read logs and use the emergency override. Credentials and settings are recorded.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| GSM and video intercoms | Visitors call a person or phone, who opens remotely. Video models let the person answering see who is at the entrance. |
| Keypads | Code entry for small groups or as a backup. Simple to manage, but codes spread, so change them regularly. |
| Remote handsets and app control | Handsets for small user groups; app control for sites that want to add and remove users from a phone. |
