Locking Bollards - Recommendations?

[Ferdinand]

I am looking at replacing a farm gate with two locking, fold down bollards to provide easy access for mobility aids.
 

• Can anyone recommend decent quality items?
• What will they cost me?

The application is that I am trying to make a local public footpath accessible to mobility aids - I can use the Highways Act 1980 to make the Local Highways Authority remove an obstruction, but it will take time and they may fight to keep their illegal barrier.

But one other option is to persuade the local allotments society to replace a gate I think they own with locking bollards, which would be better for them and keep them onside. I would happily pay for a couple of these locking bollards, as it may cost me to persuade the council.

Photo below. The motor vehicle modal filter is also an anti-wheelchair barrier, and is made out of concrete lorry-blocks from a roundabout. It has been there since 1978 or so. The channel through is about 75cm wide. The policy requirement is for a route through to be 1.5m wide and flat.

The allotment people (big site of 200 allotments on the same side as the litter bin) go through the channel with planks across wheelbarrows etc, so are not keen on bollards across the main Right of Way.

Thanks
