This bollard has been previously reported - about a year ago - as snapped but nothing was done to repair it. It has now been almost pushed to the ground to the point it is dangerous and could well fall causing damage to anyone passing. Please visit and assess - rather than a drive past assess.

  • Customer called regrading this enquiry. The concrete bollard it's ready to fall down completely. Customer pushed it back in its place but it's not safe as it can fall at a very light touch.

  • customer has called back in to dispute this as this bollard was installed by the council he said and was put not on the private road, on the path area, definitely not the private road - was probably 12 years ago now so customer not responsible as bollard is on the path. He said its not a private road. Can we look into this further please for teh customer as wants to reject decision.
