Permissions and groundwork in Stratford-upon-Avon
In Stratford-upon-Avon, work on adopted pavements and verges needs consent from Warwickshire County Council, the local highway authority. Car parks, forecourts and other private land only need the owner's permission.
If your site in Stratford-upon-Avon is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (the council for Stratford-on-Avon) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Deep foundations need care near the building's own footings and basement walls. Shop forecourts may be thin concrete over old fill, and filling station forecourts carry fuel lines, tank vents and interceptors that must be located precisely before anything is dug.
- Leave clear gaps for wheelchairs and buggies, typically at least 1,000 mm, and keep the footway width usable, referring to Inclusive Mobility guidance.
- Ask your landlord, and check any lease restrictions on alterations to the frontage.
What happens on site
Agree the post type and positions
We agree unrated or tested posts with you, your landlord and any insurer or security adviser involved. A fixed written quote sets out the positions, foundations and reinstatement.
Excavate and set the posts
Each position is hand-dug near services and taken to depth, then the post is set plumb in a reinforced concrete base. Work is planned around trading hours where possible.
Reinstate the pavement
Paving, tarmac or forecourt concrete is made good flush with the base of each post, leaving no trip edges.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reflective and contrasting bands | Bands near the top help pedestrians, including partially sighted people, see the posts on a busy pavement. |
| Removable posts | Lockable removable positions allow deliveries, shopfitting or shutter maintenance without leaving the frontage open permanently. |
| Concrete-filled steel posts | Thick-walled steel tube root-fixed in a deep reinforced base. The usual unrated choice for shopfronts and ATMs. |
What affects the quote
When we price ram-raid bollards in Stratford-upon-Avon, these make the biggest difference:
- Foundation depth and what is found under the pavement
- Number of posts across the frontage or ATM
- Reinstatement of forecourt or natural stone surfaces
Keeping them working
If you have been raided despite having bollards, look again at the positions and gaps, because offenders tend to aim at any weak point. Ram-raid bollards are robust but not maintenance-free.
If posts in Stratford-upon-Avon are later hit or damaged, we can repair or replace them — see bollard repairs.

Will bollards stop an ATM being ripped out?
Correctly placed bollards stop a vehicle getting close enough to attach chains or ram the surround. They work alongside the machine's own anchoring and the bank's security measures. Positions need to cover the wall either side of the ATM as well as the front.
