Rules for fold-down parking posts 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
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.
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.
Check operation
The post is raised, locked, unlocked and folded several times, and the folded height is checked against your car's clearance.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Surrey?
For local roads, Surrey County Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
Padlock or integral lock: which is better for a parking post?
An integral lock is neater and has nothing loose to carry or lose, and is harder to tamper with. A padlock is easy to replace if keys go missing. Many residents prefer integral locks for daily use.
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.
