Source: ONS Census 2021 (tables TS044 and TS045), Redhill (4 wards).
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.
36% of homes in Redhill 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 4 in 10 Redhill households (36%) 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 Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. Here’s what to know locally, and where to go if someone blocks your drive.
Local parking
Commuter parking has long been an issue in Redhill's residential roads. A Surrey County Council parking review recorded commuters parking in roads such as Ridgeway Road, Park Road and Grovehill Road and making access difficult, while parked cars on Linkfield Lane near the A23 were blocking the entrances to homes.
Cars blocking your drive?
Ask for an H-bar markingA white H-bar line across your dropped kerb makes it clear no one should park there. Apply through Surrey County Council.Open council page ↗Planning

“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 36% of Redhill 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 Redhill, including Earlswood, Merstham, Salfords, Meadvale, Whitebushes, Holmethorpe, Nutfield (RH1). 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 Reigate and Banstead Borough Council first.
If they’re on the road across your dropped kerb, contact Surrey County Council, and ask Surrey County 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.
