Rules for replacement bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first.

How installation works
Make safe
If a broken post or stub is a hazard, it can be removed or capped first. That is priced separately in writing so you can approve it on its own.
Survey and match
At the free site survey we measure the existing bollards, photograph the line and check the foundations. A fixed written quote sets out like-for-like and any upgrade options.
Order the replacement
Matching posts, sockets or castings are ordered, and you see details of any close equivalent before it is confirmed.
Remove the old bollard
The damaged post is cut or extracted and the old foundation broken out, checking for services as the hole is opened.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Cambridgeshire?
For local roads, Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Should we replace like-for-like or upgrade?
Like-for-like if the post was hit once in an unusual incident. Consider an upgrade if the same position is struck repeatedly or the post no longer suits how the site is used. The survey will show which makes sense.
A driver hit our bollard and left: what should we do?
Make the area safe, photograph the damage and report it if the post is on public land. Check whether CCTV covered the area. A written quote from us can then support any claim.
