Most cars stolen from homes are taken from the driveway without the keys: a relay device copies the signal from a keyless fob inside the house, and the car is gone in under a minute. A locked post in front of it means it can’t be driven away, however the thief got in.
46% of homes in Woodley are semi-detached, often with drives side by side up to the boundary. A post placed close to your own car stops it being driven off without blocking your neighbour.
73% of homes in Woodley are detached or semi-detached, most with somewhere to park off the road. A telescopic post sits flush when it’s down, so it’s there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

Your council is Wokingham Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Woodley's town centre car parks, including Headley Road and Crockhamwell Road, are run by Wokingham Borough Council, whose civil enforcement officers have enforced on-street parking restrictions across the borough since October 2017. In a July 2022 report the council said its officers had carried out 1,624 school patrols in the previous year, and residents can report a blocked dropped kerb online.

Usually not, for a bollard on your own drive. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Wokingham Borough Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Wokingham Borough Council, and ask Wokingham Borough Council about an H-bar marking. If they’re parking on your drive itself, a fold-down or telescopic parking post stops it for good.
