What we check first in Newport, Isle of Wight
In Newport, Isle of Wight, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Isle of Wight Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Newport, Isle of Wight is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Isle of Wight Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
How the job runs
Watch how the site works
The free site survey looks at where cars park, where people walk and queue, and where incidents or near misses have happened. You receive a fixed written quote with positions marked.
Excavate and set
Each position is cut, dug and checked for services, and the posts are set plumb in concrete to a consistent height.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| 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. |

Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
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.
