Consents, ground and services in Dunfermline
In Scotland the council is the roads authority for local roads, which in Dunfermline means Fife Council. Bollards on an adopted footway need its consent; trunk roads sit with Transport Scotland.
If your site in Dunfermline is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Fife Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Base-plate repairs depend on the slab: if the concrete has cracked or crumbled around the anchors, it is cut back and repaired before new fixings go in. Sockets and cassettes are reset to the exact finished surface level, with drainage restored beneath.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the roads authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
