Re: Should I do it?

30 years on I have to visit that street maybe 3 times a week, it is now calm and serene, makes you wonder if you were dreaming.

Houses don't make or break a neighbourhood, people do!!!

That's a really good idea Annie and yes it would work.

It's the cost though. I don't know how much a new double garage would cost and we would lose a big part of the garden which isn't very long to start with.

And to do that all because of bully boy? Nah - he's not worth it. I'll stick with the bollard.

Yes Carol, the cost of an architect to do the plans, the cost of getting planning permission, then the cost of building it plus the inconvenience of the mess and upheaval of building it.

Nah, scrub that idea!

Re: Should I do it?

Have you had any hassle from your neighbours over it swimmy?

Hi Pauline - yes I will show a picture if it in place but it will be nothing like yours. For a start, the man is going to make it himself. He told me if he makes one he knows it will be strong & do the job.

We shall see.

Carol, that strikes me as quite odd.
I had a feeling they have to be crash tested to be legal, but I might be wrong.

How did you find this chap? Is he reputable? Do you know any other of his customers?
Has you got a price for his home-made bollard?

Also, do you know a proper, legal bollard from a dodgy one? If not, I would do a lot of homework before you pay him!

See if this is any help. It may or may not be, you decide:

If you get it wrong, your neighbour could be on you like a ton of bricks!
