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.
42% of homes in Tonbridge 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.
63% of homes in Tonbridge 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 Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
In 2021 Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council said it was not possible to provide on-street residents' parking bays in Tonbridge town centre, and consulted on offering town-centre residents season tickets for nearby long-stay car parks instead. Elsewhere in Tonbridge, many streets fall into lettered resident permit areas, and a permit can generally only be used in the area it was issued for.

“James at Wentworth Driveway Security was very helpful. We got the whole job done, from quote to fitting in just four days. The bollards are fully electric, and I feel more at ease now leaving my car on the driveway overnight. Especially with all the thieves about.”
“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.”
