Bemusement at ‘barmy’ bunch of 60 bollards near Birmingham school

Bevy of bollards along 50-metre stretch of pavement is likened to ski slalom course and called an eyesore

Residents in Birmingham have been left perplexed after the city council covered a pavement near a primary school with a “barmy” array of 60 bollards to deter motorists.

The bollards, which have been met with ridicule and prompted concerns that they could put cyclists and pedestrians at risk, were hailed as “Bollard World” by the Twitter account World Bollard Association.
