Permissions and groundwork in Tamworth
Staffordshire County Council is the highway authority covering Tamworth'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 Tamworth is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Tamworth) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- 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
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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.
Options to consider
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
Pricing pedestrian protection bollards in Tamworth
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Tamworth, these make the biggest difference:
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
After installation
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. Damaged posts near entrances should be dealt with quickly, as a bent post with a torn edge is a hazard in its own right.
For damaged or loose posts in Tamworth, repairs and replacements are priced in writing first.

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.
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.
