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.
35% of homes in Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council runs eight resident parking zones, six of them in Tunbridge Wells itself, and it states that permit holders cannot be guaranteed a space. For homes with their own drive, that makes off-street parking the most dependable place to keep a car overnight.

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 Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells, including Southborough, Rusthall, Pembury, Langton Green, High Brooms, St John's, Hawkenbury, Sherwood (TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4). 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 Tunbridge Wells Borough Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, and ask Tunbridge Wells Borough 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.
