Permissions and groundwork in Newport, Newport
Before digging near the kerb in Newport, Newport we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Newport City Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Newport, Newport is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Newport City Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Many repairs are really foundation repairs. 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.
- Make damaged posts safe promptly, as a leaning post or open socket on a footway is a trip hazard.
- Do not repair crash-rated bollards in ways that change the tested product; involve the manufacturer.
