Consents, ground and services in Leyland
The highway authority for local roads in Leyland is Lancashire County Council; motorways and trunk roads sit with National Highways. Pedestrian protection bollards on the adopted footway are a matter for the highway authority, so we only install there with its written agreement.
If your site in Leyland is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for South Ribble) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
What happens on site
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.
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
Agree a plan for live trading
Work is phased so entrances and walkways stay open, with each section fenced while it is dug and set. Busy sites often prefer early starts or quieter weekdays.

Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Leyland
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Leyland firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Number of posts and length of line
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
After installation
If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly. Keep a simple note of strikes and their locations; over a year it shows which parts of the car park drivers find awkward, which is useful when the site is next resurfaced or re-lined.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Leyland.

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.

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.
