Thieves can open and start many modern cars without the keys, but they still need to drive them off the drive. A security post set deep in concrete blocks that getaway, so the car stays where you left it.
41% of homes in Solihull 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.
74% of homes in Solihull 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 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Land Rover production began at the Lode Lane plant in Solihull in 1948, and the plant has been the home of Range Rover production since the model launched in 1970. Solihull Council's drop kerb enforcement policy lets its officers issue a penalty to a car blocking more than half of a single residential driveway, but only after the occupier of the home complains.

“Contacted James who was very helpful and advised the best solution to secure our property using telescopic bollards. We arranged a date and the work was carried out to an extremely good standard, very neat and the bollards work exactly as we hoped.”
“Really pleased with the security bollard installed in our driveway by Wentworth. Installation was swift and very neatly done.”
“Efficient, professional and excellent value. Very happy to have the additional peace of mind and extra security on my property. Highly recommended.”
A raised, locked security post in front of your car stops it being driven off the drive, even if a thief has got in or copied a keyless fob. With 47% of Solihull households running two or more cars, we often fit one post per car. It’s the layer that still works when alarms and trackers don’t.
The same as everywhere we work. Fully fitted, telescopic security posts start from £799, heavy-duty from £949, automatic bollards from £2,999 and parking posts from £310. Every price includes fitting, concrete, drainage, making good and a full clean-up.
