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.
32% of households in Canterbury don’t have a car, and many that do park on the street. If you have a drive or a bay, it’s worth protecting: a parking post keeps the space yours, and a security post keeps the car on it.
47% of homes in Canterbury 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 Canterbury City Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Canterbury City Council runs residents' parking schemes in central Canterbury, where a permit costs up to about £150 a year, and it is clear that a permit does not guarantee a space outside your house. Drivers without a permit are generally limited to one or two hours at set times, so a private drive is the only parking spot many households fully control.
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 Canterbury City Council.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 Canterbury City Council first.Open council page ↗Parking problems

“Very quick turnaround from quotation to installation. James and the team were very friendly, helpful, and provided good advice. The team arrived on time on the day of fitting and left the driveway really clean, neat and tidy. Their price is higher than some competitors, and other places include a 3-year warranty in their price. Overall, a really good company and a positive experience. Thanks to James and the team for helping secure my driveway!”
“Very efficient and neat fitting of two stainless steel bollards by Dean. Would highly recommend this service to others thinking of increasing their security at home. Thank you Wentworth Driveway Security Bollards.”
“Wentworth security Bollards have just fitted a telescopic bollard on my drive. I was worried as I didn’t want my paved drive too disrupted, however they arrived fitted the bollard quickly, cleaning with minimal impact to drive. I’m very happy with service.”
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 25% of Canterbury 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 Canterbury, including Sturry, Harbledown, Hales Place, Wincheap, Thanington, St Dunstan's, Bridge, Chartham (CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4). 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 Canterbury City Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Canterbury City Council, and ask Canterbury 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.
