Jacksons Fencing has successfully delivered a fencing solution for the Newbury Bus Station redevelopment, with the aim of enhancing both safety and aesthetics.

As part of West Berkshire Council’s ambitious project to upgrade public transport infrastructure, Jacksons Fencing was specified to deliver a solution that not only met stringent security standards, but also blended with the station’s modern redesign.

Jacksons Fencing installed 90 metres of Sentry vertical bar fencing, a robust and modern vertical bar railing system designed for high-traffic public spaces, the company says.

Withstanding daily wear and tear

Constructed from hot-dip galvanised tubular steel, the Sentry fencing system is capable of withstanding the daily wear and tear of a busy bus station.

The system features a welded pale-through-rail construction, which provides a tamper-resistant structure for enhanced security.

Concealed fixings ensure a clean, vandal-resistant finish, while the flat-top construction and non-protruding pales give the fence a non-threatening appearance—ideal for a public space.

Additionally, the fence is built to last, backed by a 25-year Service Life Guarantee that reduces maintenance needs and guarantees long-term durability.

According to Jacksons Fencing, one of the biggest wins for this project was its alignment with West Berkshire Council’s sustainability goals.

The Sentry fencing system is not just tough and reliable; it’s also designed with environmental impact in mind.

The durable materials and extended lifespan promise long-lasting performance with minimal need for replacement or maintenance, cutting down on lifetime costs and reducing its environmental footprint.

In addition to its sustainability benefits, the fencing provides a high level of security.

Its strong, tamper-resistant construction safeguards passengers while preventing unauthorised access without compromising the station’s modern look.

Enhancing transport hubs with Jacksons Fencing

“Contributing to the Newbury Bus Station redevelopment demonstrates our commitment to delivering tailored solutions for local authorities like West Berkshire Council that combine functionality, sustainability and design,” said Peter Jackson, Managing Director of Jacksons Fencing.

“The success of this project builds on our earlier work at Newbury Train Station in 2022, where we installed 160 metres of Bow Top fencing.

“Together, these two projects enhance the town’s transport hubs, delivering cohesive and secure infrastructure that supports a vibrant and accessible community.”
