What we check first in Dunblane
For anything on the public footway in Dunblane we check with the roads authority first — Stirling Council for local roads, Transport Scotland on trunk routes. Private ground such as a car park or forecourt only needs the owner's go-ahead.
Bollards on private land often need no planning application, but listed buildings and conservation areas are different; the planning service at Stirling Council can confirm before anything is ordered.
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. 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.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- 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.
Options to consider
| 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. |
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
What affects the quote
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Dunblane, these make the biggest difference:
- Finishes such as stainless or decorative posts
- Number of posts and length of line
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
Keeping them working
A post that leans or rocks has lost much of its value and should be re-bedded or replaced. 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.
If posts in Dunblane are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Are wheel stops enough on their own?
Wheel stops help drivers judge where to stop but a car can mount them with a firm press on the accelerator. Used with bollards, they reduce daily knocks on the posts. On their own they are not a barrier.
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.
