Illegal off-road and Surron bikes are the issue Gwent Police's Aberbargoed team has chosen to tackle, citing noise, road safety and anti-social behaviour. Our patrols and cameras help firms keep yards and car parks clear.
Trusted Protection in Aberbargoed
Aberbargoed, a former coal-mining town in the Rhymney Valley that looks across to Bargoed, has one stated police priority: the nuisance caused by illegal off-road bikes. For a business, open land around an industrial unit or an empty car park after hours can become a riding track. Gates, barriers and camera coverage make sites less inviting, and mobile patrols with digital reports give owners a record to share with police.
Aberbargoed Business Profile
Our network counts five registered security workers whose homes are within 10 miles of Aberbargoed. Because the local pool is small, we usually plan cover around mobile patrols and alarm response, supported by our 24/7 control room, and bring in further officers for larger static contracts. All of them are SIA-licensed, cleared to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE, and their visits are confirmed by GPS book-on.
Caerphilly has 4,115 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group at 780, then professional services with 380 and hospitality with 365. Manufacturing makes up 7.0% of firms, well above the 4.6% national rate, and the motor trade 5.0% against 3.0%. Production sites typically need static guarding and access control, while garages and dealers benefit from CCTV towers and overnight patrols against vehicle theft.
Blackwood Miners Institute, The Little Theatre and Maxime Cinema Blackwood all lie inside 5km. Once Martyn's Law begins, expected in 2027, sites able to hold 200 or more will carry new duties, and our stewards can help operators get ready. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
