Consents, ground and services in Caerleon
In Caerleon the highway authority for local roads is Newport City Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Caerleon 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 Newport City Council before posts go in.
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. Re-bedding a post means breaking out old concrete, which may be larger or deeper than expected, and checking for services before digging further.
- Check whether the bollard is on public highway or council land; the highway authority may need to authorise work or carry it out.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
What happens on site
Send photos and details
Tell us what has happened and send photographs of each affected post, close up and from a distance, with the location. That lets us identify the bollard type and the likely repair.
Make safe if needed
Where a post is a hazard now, the first step can be to make it safe by removing or capping it, priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Carry out the repair
The crew carries out the agreed work. If they find something different, such as a cracked slab under a base plate, they stop and we price the extra work in writing before continuing.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Locks and keys | Replacement cylinders, padlocks and keys, including keyed-alike sets across a site. |
| Caps, hinges and bands | Replacement caps and heads, hinge pins or assemblies on fold-down posts, and new reflective bands. |
| New sockets | Replacing seized, crushed or loose sockets for removable bollards, set flush with a working lid. |
