My driveway has locked gates, can the bailiff take control of my car on the driveway?


No

Bailiffs do not have a power to break entry, or damage property.[1]

If the bailiff is collecting unpaid court fines,[2] or debts owed to HMRC,[3] they have powers to use reasonable force.

The power to use reasonable force does not extend to use force against people.[4]
