Permissions and groundwork in Mansfield
The highway authority for local roads in Mansfield is Nottinghamshire 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 Mansfield is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Mansfield) 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. 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.
- Record why posts are where they are in the site's risk assessment, especially at drive-thrus and seating areas.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
Installation, step by step
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.
Reinstate
Paving, tarmac or concrete is made good flush around each post, with tactile paving reinstated where it was disturbed.
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 |
|---|---|
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| 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 Mansfield
Two Mansfield jobs with the same number of posts can price quite differently. The usual reasons:
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Unrated steel or PAS 170-1 tested products
Looking after them
Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right. A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced.
If posts in Mansfield 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.
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.
