Rules for flexible 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. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Check the surface
Slabs and decks are checked for thickness, reinforcement and waterproofing before drilling. Weak tarmac may need a concrete pad or socket base.
Set out the line
Posts are set out to guide vehicles along the intended path, with spacing that reads as a line to drivers.
Fix the bases
Holes are drilled and cleaned, resin anchors or bolts are set and the bases fixed and torqued once cured. Socket bases are set flush in concrete.
Fit posts and test
Posts are fitted and bent by hand to confirm they return upright, and reflective sleeves are applied.

Do flexible bollards work in cold weather?
They do, but polymers become stiffer in cold conditions and recover more slowly after a knock. Sprung-base designs are less affected. Neither type is damaged by normal UK winter temperatures.
Can a damaged flexible post be replaced on the same base?
Usually, yes, especially with socket bases designed for it. The post is removed and a new one fitted. If the base itself is damaged or loose, it is re-fixed or replaced at the same time.
