Rules for semi-automatic 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
Survey use and ground
At the free site survey we look at how often the post will be used, who will operate it and what is under the surface. A fixed written quote follows, including drainage.
Excavate the pit
The surface is cut and the pit dug to the cassette depth plus a drainage layer, by hand near services.
Reinstate the surface
Paving or surfacing is made good tight to the cassette collar so there is no lip for tyres or feet to catch.
Test and show users
The post is cycled several times to check it rises fully, locks at both heights and lowers smoothly. Users are shown how to operate it and to keep clear of the head when it rises.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Wrexham?
For local roads, Wrexham County Borough Council; the Welsh Government covers trunk roads. Bollards on adopted highway need the authority's written agreement.
Do semi-automatic bollards suit domestic driveways?
Yes, if the owner wants less lifting than a telescopic post. The same depth and drainage checks apply. Domestic models are lighter duty than commercial ones.
Can a semi-automatic bollard injure someone as it rises?
It rises with some force, so nobody should stand over it or put a hand on the head when releasing it. Users should be shown how to operate it safely. On busy sites, a sign and reflective bands help.
