Before we dig in Prestatyn
Before digging near the kerb in Prestatyn we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Denbighshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
Many private-land installations in Prestatyn 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 Denbighshire County Council before posts go in.
Reinstatement keeps walkways level and flush, because a trip edge around a new post in a busy car park creates the very hazard the posts are meant to reduce. Where bollards protect a shopfront, the building's own foundations and any canopy columns may sit close to the line, which limits how deep and wide each base can go.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
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.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Prestatyn
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Prestatyn, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Number of posts and length of line
Keeping them working
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. Protection bollards take the knocks they are there for, so inspect them regularly and after any reported strike.
If posts in Prestatyn are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Will bollards block trolleys?
They should not if gaps are planned for trolleys and wheelchairs. Main routes to trolley bays need wider openings. We set gaps to suit the way the site works.
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.
