A load of old Bollards?
I see that the new Castle Hall, sorry, Hertford Theatre has had some new automatic barriers fitted for the front slip road. Am I correct in thinking that there were some rise and fall bollards installed only a couple of years ago? In which case how much of our money has been wasted by EHDC having them replaced so soon?

I think I recall the old bollards were damaged.

I think I recall that the bollards were damaged on their first day of work.
It may have been The Mercury trying to enhance a story, (surely not!) but I think they ceased to function properly in their first week.

I think you can sleep well tonight Arty. To my knowledge, it was a beer delivery truck that decided to stop over the bollards as they began to rise. The pub's insurance covered the replacement of the bollards from what the people in the pub management told my other half.
Panic over.

I saw the beer delivery lorry reverse into the new barrier the week before last even with someone directing him out - I guess we will see how robust the new barrier is over time!
