Permissions and groundwork in Jarrow
South Tyneside Council is the highway authority covering Jarrow'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 Jarrow is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (South Tyneside Council) 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. 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.
- Keep clear gaps of typically at least 1,000–1,200 mm and keep main walkways wide enough, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
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.
Add bands and markings
Reflective bands are fitted and any wheel stops or line markings agreed in the scheme are installed.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Wheel stops and kerbs | Used with bollards to stop cars before they reach the posts, reducing daily knocks. |
| Visibility bands | Reflective and contrasting bands help drivers and partially sighted pedestrians see posts. |
What affects the quote
When we price pedestrian protection bollards in Jarrow, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- Working around trading hours and live car parks
- Ground conditions and services along kerb lines
Keeping them working
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.
We can also service, repair or replace existing posts anywhere in Jarrow.

Who gives permission for bollards on the pavement in Jarrow?
The highway authority for local roads in Jarrow is South Tyneside 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.
How much do pedestrian protection bollards cost in Jarrow?
In Jarrow, typically £235–£1,145 per bollard, supplied and installed, plus VAT, with a minimum job of £565 plus VAT, using our North East guide prices. The fixed figure comes in writing after we've seen the site.
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.
Do pedestrian protection bollards need to be crash-rated?
Not usually. They deal with low-speed driver errors, so firmly founded steel posts often suffice. Where an owner, insurer or designer wants proven performance, PAS 170-1 tested products are the usual choice.
