Rules for driveway security posts in Scotland
Works in a public road or footway need the roads authority's written consent under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. On private land the owner's agreement is what matters; listed buildings and conservation areas need a word with the planning team first. Accessibility guidance asks for posts at least 1,000 mm high with contrasting tops and no chains between them.

How installation works
Free home survey
We look at your drive, how and where you park, the surface and what might be under it, such as the water pipe or a gas service. You receive a fixed written quote with the post type and position marked.
Cut the surface
Block paving is lifted carefully for reuse; tarmac, concrete or resin is cut neatly to keep the patch as small as possible.
Fit the post
Telescopic cassettes and removable sockets are set flush in concrete with drainage beneath. Fold-down posts are anchored to concrete or a small new pad.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.

Who do I ask about bollards on public land in Glasgow City?
The council is the roads authority for local roads (Glasgow City Council); Transport Scotland covers trunk roads. Works in a public road need the roads authority's written consent.
Will fitting a post damage my block paving?
Only a small area is lifted and the original blocks are relaid around the post. Done carefully, the repair is hard to spot. Resin and imprinted drives show patching more.
Does a driveway post stop keyless car theft?
It cannot stop a thief opening or starting the car electronically, but it stops the car being driven off the drive until the post is unlocked. That makes your car a slower, riskier target. Use it alongside a signal-blocking pouch and the car's own security.
