Before we dig in Scunthorpe
North Lincolnshire Council is the highway authority covering Scunthorpe's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Bollards on private land often don't need planning permission, but it depends on the council's view, the height and the location; in a conservation area, next to a listed building or under an Article 4 direction, ask the local planning authority (North Lincolnshire Council) first — we flag this at survey.
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.
- 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.
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.
Specification choices
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| PAS 170-1 tested bollards | Tested against low-speed vehicle impacts, for sites where proven performance has been asked for. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Scunthorpe
Our Yorkshire and the Humber guide prices are a starting point; the survey in Scunthorpe firms them up. What tends to move them:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
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. 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.
For damaged or loose posts in Scunthorpe, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
