Neil, the Totnes Town Maintenance Assistant is seen painting the new bollard that has recently been installed towards the top of Castle Street.

Totnes Town Council have worked closely with Devon County Council to get this bollard put in place to help protect a listed building in the street.

The upper bay windows have been repeatedly hit by larger vehicles that have ignored or not seen the width restriction notices located further down the road.

Last year, the damage from one hit was so significant that the street had to be closed for several weeks as there was a danger posed to anyone driving or walking underneath.

Now the bollard should help to slow down larger vehicles if they do do miss the restriction signs. Hopefully, this will prevent any more damage to one of the town's very special buildings.

If the bollard looks familiar, that's because they’ve recycled one of their old fingerposts signs for this job.
