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.
36% of homes in Sutton Coldfield 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.
37% of homes in Sutton Coldfield are detached, and many sit behind a private drive set back from the road. That keeps cars off the street, but it can also keep a thief out of sight. A heavy-duty post or an automatic bollard in front of the car takes the getaway away.

Your council is Birmingham City Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
The Four Oaks Estate, beside Sutton Park, became a conservation area in July 1986, when Birmingham's planning committee report described its large houses with large grounds. Driveway markings in Sutton Coldfield come from Birmingham City Council rather than the Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council, and the city offers white advisory H markings across driveway entrances as a paid service, with prices starting from £191.

“Wentworth security were fantastic. Very speedy in replying to my query and even quicker to schedule the installation. The folks installing were polite, knowledgeable and friendly. They worked hard and completed the install in two hours. They cleaned up and even vacuumed the drive after. Can’t thank you all enough for a great job!”
“They made the whole process very easy. Turned up early and had the bollard installed within the hour. Now I have the worry of people parking in my space removed. Would definitely recommend Wentworth Security Bollards to others.”
“Just had a security post installed on my drive by Wentworth Driveway security. Really pleased with the whole experience. Excellent work, reasonable price and very accommodating. Big thanks to Flo for all your help Dean”
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 46% of Sutton Coldfield 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.
Yes. Our vetted local installers fit driveway security posts and parking posts across Sutton Coldfield, including Four Oaks, Mere Green, Walmley, Wylde Green, Boldmere, Maney, Roughley, Minworth (B72, B73, B74, B75, B76). Enter your postcode for your fitted price.
Usually not, for a bollard on your own drive. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Birmingham City Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Birmingham City Council, and ask Birmingham City 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.
