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.
37% of homes in Watford are flats, so many cars sit in allocated bays or shared car parks rather than on a private drive. A lockable post in your own bay protects the space and the car in it. Check your lease first.
Around 3 in 10 Watford households (33%) 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 Watford Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Watford runs controlled parking zones across much of the town, and several of them, such as Zone F, have extra restriction hours on Watford FC first-team match days: 6pm to 10pm on weekday evenings and 1pm to 6.30pm on Sundays. Residents with a dropped kerb can also apply to Watford Borough Council for a white line across their driveway entrance, which costs £150.
Cars blocking your drive?

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 33% of Watford 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.

Usually not, for a bollard on your own drive. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with Watford Borough Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Watford Borough Council (runs on-street parking enforcement), and ask Watford Borough Council (parking authority, on behalf of Hertfordshire County 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.
