Bollards are not locked in place

Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 926488.
This is an emergency access road that has bollards at each end. There bollards are not locked down and therefore possible to be removed by anybody. Shouldn't they be secured?

We’ve completed our inspection and were unable to log a defect requiring action by the Roads Service.
In many cases, this means the issue may relate to land or infrastructure that is not maintained by our service. This could include areas looked after by another part of the Council — such as housing, landscape, or waste services — or by a third party, such as a utility provider, housing association, developer, or private landowner.
If the situation changes, or if you’re able to provide additional information, you’re welcome to get back in touch. However, if the issue continues to fall outside the Roads Service’s responsibility, it will remain with the appropriate service or owner to address.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention
