Permissions and groundwork in Tyldesley
The highway authority for local roads in Tyldesley is Wigan 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.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (Wigan Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.

Do I need consent for bollards on a public footway in Tyldesley?

Why does our base-plated bollard keep working loose?
Usually because the anchors are in weak, cracked or thin concrete, or too close to an edge or joint. Re-tightening does not last. New anchors in fresh positions, a larger plate or a slab repair is the lasting fix.
Can you free a seized removable bollard?
Usually, by working the lock free or drilling it out, then lifting the post and cleaning the socket. If the socket is crushed or corroded, it is cut out and replaced. A new lock and keys can be fitted at the same time.
