Rules for removable bollards in England
Bollards on adopted highway are a matter for the highway authority under the Highways Act 1980, so they need its written agreement. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Agree who will lift the post
At the free site survey we talk through who will remove the post, how often and where it will be stored. That decides material, diameter and lock, and goes into a fixed written quote.
Set the socket flush
The socket is set in concrete with its rim exactly at finished surface level and to the fall of the ground, so the lid sits flat and nothing catches on it.
Reinstate around the socket
Block paving, tarmac or flags are cut tight to the collar and made good. On resin or bound surfaces, the edge is sealed neatly.
Fit posts and hand over keys
Posts are fitted and locked, and the lift-out and refit routine is checked on site. Keys and any storage brackets are handed over.

How much do removable bollards cost in Cheshire?

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Cheshire?
For local roads, Cheshire East Council, Cheshire West and Chester Council, Halton Borough Council and Warrington Council; National Highways covers motorways and trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the highway authority's written agreement.
What happens to the hole when the bollard is out?
A lid on the socket closes over it so the surface is flush. Spring-closing lids shut automatically when the post is lifted. That stops trips and keeps debris out.
Can removable bollards be installed on block paving?
Yes. The socket is set in concrete beneath the blocks and the blocks are cut tight around the collar. It finishes neatly if the socket is set to the exact paving level.
