• Temporary cones, bollards and barriers

Theft and vandalism of street furniture or the removal of barriers around excavation works can lead to serious accidents.  Please report any instances you see using the contact details below.

Street Nameplates

The Council is responsible for the maintenance of street nameplates in Bournemouth, of which there are currently some 9,500. There is a policy of replacing old nameplates, as they become damaged, with new style signs that bear the Council's crest. 

This new style of sign uses Kindersley lettering with the Bournemouth Borough Council logo. The materials used provide a retroreflective Class 2 background to the sign and the support legs are manufactured from recycled plastic.

Theft and vandalism of street nameplates can lead to serious delays in the response to 999 calls by the emergency services. Please report any instances you see using the contact details below.

Signs

The sign production unit at Southcote Road is fully equipped to offer a rapid response service to signing requirements, including for emergencies.

Theft and vandalism of traffic signs can lead to serious accidents, examples are the removal or reversal of a ‘No Entry’ sign, or the covering of a ‘Keep Left’ bollard with personal greetings banners or advertising posters. Please report any instances you see using the contact details below.
