To stop illegal or unauthorised parking, property owners should combine physical deterrents with clear signage and good site management. The goal is to make it clear that parking without permission isn’t allowed — and physically prevent vehicles from entering or staying there.
Physical Deterrents –
🔒 Removable or telescopic bollards – ideal for driveways, car parks, and private access points where authorised vehicles still need entry
🚧 Height-restriction barriers – prevent larger vehicles, vans, or caravans from entering private or council car parks
🏗️ Swing gates or manual barriers – secure entrances after hours and control daytime access
🧱 Concrete planters, fencing, or perimeter rails – add extra protection for open land and business forecourts
Signage and Warnings –
📋 Display “Private Land – No Parking” or “Permit Holders Only” signs clearly at all entry points
⚖️ For enforceable fines, use a BPA or IPC-approved parking operator
💡 Keep signs visible, well-lit, and compliant with parking code of practice
Lighting and Monitoring –
📹 CCTV and motion lights deter opportunists and help gather evidence
🧾 Keep a log of incidents with photos and times to support future enforcement
Operational Measures –
✅ Restrict access with key holders, access codes, or automatic barriers
🔧 Regularly inspect gates and posts for damage or tampering
💷 Review security layout after any incident to strengthen weak points
