Consents, ground and services in Morecambe
Lancashire County Council is the highway authority covering Morecambe's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
If your site in Morecambe is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Lancaster) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
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.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Root-fixed galvanised and powder-coated steel, the standard unrated choice for walkways and frontages. |
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
What moves the price in Morecambe
Our North West guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Morecambe firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
Looking after them
Touch up chipped coatings, renew faded bands, and check the surface around each base for cracks that suggest movement. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
If posts in Morecambe are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Do I need consent for pedestrian protection bollards on a public footway in Morecambe?

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.
How far from the kerb should car park bollards go?
Far enough back that parked bumpers do not hit them, but not so far that they narrow the walkway. That distance depends on the bay length and kerb height. We set it on site with the layout in front of us.
