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.
41% of homes in Romford 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.
Around 3 in 10 Romford households (34%) 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 London Borough of Havering. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Harold Wood, in Romford's RM3 postcode district, is the last Elizabeth line station inside Zone 6, which Havering says has made it a longstanding hotspot for commuter parking. The council already runs residents' parking schemes in parts of Harold Wood and in 2025 agreed a permit parking zone for the Kings Park area.

“Initially got in touch with James and he was such a professional, had a chat about Security Bollards, well impressed and fitted 4 days later by Dean, very impressed, really knew his job, fitted bollards, explained the workings left the site clean and tidy. As I said impressed, definitely 5 stars.”
“Wentworth Security did a great job fitting a security bollard for me, in super quick time at a competitive price. And to cap it all, they are really nice people! Highly recommended”
“Fantastic service from start to finish! The team installed my security bollards quickly and professionally. Great communication and quality work — highly recommend!”
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 34% of Romford 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.
