Before we dig in Wallasey
The highway authority for local roads in Wallasey is Wirral 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.
If your site in Wallasey is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Wirral Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Breaking out is done carefully near services, particularly where cables have been laid close to posts since the original installation. Upgrades to rated products usually need a completely new, larger foundation.
- Keep gaps and visibility bands in line with Inclusive Mobility guidance when replacing posts on pedestrian routes.
- Upgrades to rated products must use the manufacturer's tested foundation, specified with your security adviser.

Remove the old bollard
