Before we dig in Llantwit Major
Local roads and pavements in Llantwit Major are the responsibility of Vale of Glamorgan Council as highway authority, with the Welsh Government's trunk road agents handling trunk roads. Posts on the public highway need that authority's consent; private land does not.
If your site in Llantwit Major is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Vale of Glamorgan Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Because concrete bollards are heavy, a weak foundation shows itself quickly as a tilt. Each post sits on a concrete base on firm ground, and on soft verges or made ground the base is deepened or widened to suit.
- Plan lifts with an exclusion zone and suitable lifting equipment, and record the method for the site.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm where pedestrians pass, checking against Inclusive Mobility guidance.

Excavate and cast foundations
Small foundations are excavated, checked for services and cast with a dowel hole or sleeve at the right position and level.
