Before we dig in Stratford-upon-Avon
Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority covering Stratford-upon-Avon's local roads. If any post would stand on adopted highway rather than your land, that consent is the first thing we sort out.
Many private-land installations in Stratford-upon-Avon need no planning application, but the rules don't clearly cover bollards, so listed buildings, conservation areas and prominent frontages are worth raising with the planning team at the council for Stratford-on-Avon before posts go in.
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. 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.
- If a tested product has been requested, confirm PAS 170-1 or another stated standard and install to the tested foundation.
- Use contrasting bands so posts are visible to partially sighted people, and avoid linking chains across routes.
How the job runs
Set out the line
Posts are set out allowing for bumper overhang and keeping clear routes for pedestrians, trolleys and wheelchairs.
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 |
|---|---|
| Lit bollards | Low-level lighting bollards double as protection on walkways where the product is robust enough for the job. |
| Stainless or architectural finishes | Stainless sleeves or decorative posts for shop entrances and public-facing frontages. |
| 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 Stratford-upon-Avon, these make the biggest difference:
- Reinstatement of tactile paving and walkway surfaces
- 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. If one post keeps being hit, look at the bay layout or add a wheel stop rather than replacing the same post repeatedly.
If posts in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
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.
