Each set of bollards would require a receiver unit costing £110, & every vehicle authorised to use the bollards requires a transmitter costing £25 each.
As for the repair. The company claims that the bollards are maintainance free for at least 4.5 million cycles. They can also withstand being hit by a 7 ton truck traveling at 30 MPH, so the vandals would have a really hard time trying to destroy them.
There probably cheaper options somewhere, i'll keep looking.

A perfect example of how HBC is a poor council IMHO. A member of the general public in probably 15 minutes is nearer to a solution.
Given many small and large authorities have installed this HBC should not be in any worse a position to install these. The leadership could be blocking it OR we have members of staff who have thie own ideas and the political leadership is too weak or indifferent to alter that.
