Rules for removable bollards in Wales
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.
Cut and excavate
A small square of surface is cut out and excavated to socket depth, with a bed of free-draining stone at the bottom so water can leave the socket.
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.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Neath Port Talbot?
For local roads, Neath Port Talbot Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Will a removable bollard freeze in place?
It can if water sits in the socket and freezes around the post. Good drainage at the socket base is the main defence. A little lubricant on the post and lifting it out occasionally in winter also helps.
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.
