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.
39% of homes in Folkestone 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.
29% of homes in Folkestone are terraced, where a drive is often just one car’s length off the road. A telescopic post sits flush when it’s down, so it doesn’t take up room on a short drive.

Your council is Folkestone and Hythe District Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Folkestone sits beside the M20, and the Channel Tunnel terminal just outside the town has its own motorway exit at junction 11A. In the town's controlled parking zones, Folkestone & Hythe District Council says a zone does not guarantee you a space outside your house, and a permit for one zone cannot be used in another.
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 27% of Folkestone 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 Folkestone, including Cheriton, Sandgate, Hythe, Hawkinge, Morehall, Foord, Capel-le-Ferne, Newington (CT18, CT19, CT20, CT21). 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 Folkestone and Hythe District Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Folkestone and Hythe District Council, and ask Folkestone and Hythe District 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.
