Hi, I was doing a left-turn onto a road when all of a sudden I heard this loud bang and scraping noise on the botom left side of my car. I stopped the car a few metres in front of a restaurant and got out of my car to check what happend. I noticed the bottom part of my left front door was dented and the left side bumper damaged. I looked back at the pavement and I saw there was a small uprooted bollard which was protruding from the pavement and was the actual cause of the damage. Apparently the bollard was not sitting properly on the pavement and was protruding onto the road and could not be visually identified at the time of the turn and that is what has caused the damage. I understand the Borough or the Local Council has a part in ensuring that all bollards are safe and properly maintained but how do I go about contacting them. Do I march down to the Local Town Hall, see Citizens Advice Bureaux or contact a No Win No Fee company to pursue claim for damages. The cost of repairing the damages is approximately £700. Also the owner of the restaurant has also told me that this has happend to a dozen other motorists. I appreciate any advice and thank you for readng this.
