Neopolitan 150 - Gateshead Council

Gateshead Council, in the North East of England, has an ongoing programme of developing School Travel Plans throughout the Borough. Traffic Engineers, School Travel Advisors and Road Safety staff work in partnership with local schools to develop a package of both educational and physical road safety measures. The objective of the plan is to encourage children to walk and cycle to school and reduce the amount of cars on the road.

Glasdon UK Limited were approached by Gateshead Council to discuss the development of a bespoke bollard, incorporating their logo, which could be used outside specific schools involved in the scheme. After looking at the extensive range of bollards available, the Neopolitan™ 150 bollard was subsequently chosen. Manufactured from Durapol® material, the bollard is long lasting and maintenance-free. It will not chip or rust and never needs painting.
