Permissions and groundwork in Maesteg
In Maesteg the highway authority for local roads is Bridgend County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway need its agreement first.
Many private-land installations in Maesteg need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at Bridgend County Borough Council before posts go in.
Car park edges and walkways tend to be built quickly over shallow hardcore, and their kerb lines often carry lighting cables, drainage channels and ducts for EV chargers or signs. Raised kerbs also change the picture: a high kerb slows a wheel but does not stop a bumper, so the post still needs to sit within reach of the overhang rather than behind it.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
What happens on site
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Maesteg
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Maesteg, these make the biggest difference:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
Keeping them working
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
If posts in Maesteg are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Our outdoor seating faces the car park: what should we do?
Put a line of posts between the seating and the nearest parking or driving lane, with gaps narrow enough to stop a car. Positions should allow for cars that overshoot a bay. It is worth recording the decision in your risk assessment.
Should bollards be added at a drive-thru order point?
Often, yes, where people queue or sit beside the lane. Posts should follow the curve of the lane and be closest together at corners, where drivers tend to misjudge the turn. The positions are agreed on site with the operator.
