Permissions and groundwork in Blairgowrie
For anything on the public footway in Blairgowrie we check with the roads authority first — Perth and Kinross Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
Many private-land installations in Blairgowrie 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 Perth and Kinross Council before posts 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. 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.

The repaired posts are checked, the surface is made good and photographs are sent so you have a record for your maintenance file.

After installation
Keep a record of bollard types, suppliers, key numbers and colours on site, so a repair can be quoted and matched quickly when it is needed. Lubricating locks a few times a year, lifting removable and telescopic posts periodically, keeping cassettes clear of grit, touching up chipped paint and checking for lean after knocks will prevent many of them.
