Rules for fold-down parking posts in Wales
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
Survey the bay
A free site survey looks at the surface, the bay layout and where wheels run. You receive a fixed written quote for the posts, locks and any concrete pad.
Position the post
The post is placed where your car can straddle it when folded, usually central to the bay entrance, so tyres do not run over the hinge every day.
Drill and anchor
Holes are drilled into sound concrete, cleaned, and resin anchors or through-bolts set. On weak tarmac or block paving, a small concrete pad is formed first.
Fit and torque
The base plate is fixed down and bolts tightened to the anchor maker's figure once the resin has cured. Anti-tamper bolt heads or caps can be fitted.
Fold-down parking posts in Gwynedd: FAQs

How much do fold-down parking posts cost in Gwynedd?
In Gwynedd, typically £145–£435 per post, supplied and installed, plus VAT (£165–£515 including VAT for homeowners), with a minimum job of £325 plus VAT, using our Wales guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Gwynedd?
For local roads, Gwynedd Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Can someone simply unbolt the post?
Anti-tamper bolt heads or caps make it much harder, and the bolts are covered by the post when it is upright on many designs. Resin anchors set into concrete are also hard to remove without tools and time.
Do I need permission to fit a parking post in my bay?
If the car park is shared or managed, you normally need agreement from the landlord or management company. Leases often control alterations to common parts. On your own freehold drive, permission is not usually needed.
