Keyless thieves don’t need your keys or a broken window. They copy your fob’s signal from outside the house and drive off quietly. A steel post locked upright in front of the car is the one thing they can’t get past in seconds.
54% of homes in Colchester 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.
Around 4 in 10 Colchester households (35%) have two or more cars. If both are on the drive, one post placed across the only way out, or one in front of each car, keeps them both where you left them.

Your council is Colchester City Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Colchester's Park and Ride sits just north of junction 28 of the A12, with around 1,000 spaces for people heading into the historic centre. In the city's residential streets, the North Essex Parking Partnership will only investigate a car parked across a private dropped kerb if it fully blocks the access.
Cars blocking your drive?
Ask for an H-bar markingA white H-bar line across your dropped kerb makes it clear no one should park there. Apply through North Essex Parking Partnership.Open council page ↗Planning
Conservation areas and planningA bollard on your own drive rarely needs planning permission. If you’re in a conservation area or a listed building, check with Colchester City Council first.Open council page ↗Parking problems

“James and his team reacted very quickly to my request for security bollards to be installed at my property. The work was very professional and the team were extremely helpful and polite. It has provided increased peace of mind, and I would recommend Wentworth Security based on my experience.”
“I am extremely happy with the security bollards I have had fitted. They look amazing. And the complete service was very professional from start to end. I will definitely be recommending this company.”
“Installation carried out very professionally and promptly. The added security will be very welcome.”
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 35% of Colchester 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 Colchester, including Lexden, Stanway, Mile End, Highwoods, Greenstead, Old Heath, Prettygate, Shrub End (CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4). 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 Colchester City Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact North Essex Parking Partnership, and ask North Essex Parking Partnership about an H-bar marking. If they’re parking on your drive itself, a fold-down or telescopic parking post stops it for good.
