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.
40% of homes in Croydon 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.
34% of households in Croydon 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.

Your council is Croydon Council (London Borough of Croydon). Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Selhurst Park, home of Crystal Palace, sits among residential streets in South Norwood. The planning agreement for the stadium's Main Stand expansion requires a car parking management plan on match and event days, and pays for the council to review whether nearby controlled parking zones should be extended.

“Bollard bought and installed by Wentworth to prevent car being stolen. Wentworth helped me choose the right one (recognised by insurance industry to also help reduce insurance premiums). Install team turned up exactly on time. Extremely professional and very experienced. Checked for sewer, gas and electric conflicts then very quickly installed with a superb finish and tidy up. Very nice job. Can’t recommend more highly.”
“The guys at Wentworth Driveway security where quick to respond and clean and tidy when carrying out the install noting was a issue for them and fully transparent with the invoice even come on a Sunday to carry out the install highly recommended”
“From my initial contact with Wentworth Driveway Security Bollards until the work was completed (the next day, as it happened) I have been very impressed by their efficiency, helpfulness and friendly pleasant approach - both by phone and on site. Thank you.”
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. It’s the layer that still works when alarms and trackers don’t.
