That 25.8% figure is close to six times the 4.5% seen across Great Britain. Construction follows on 1,040 and professional services on 635. Farm premises are often isolated, so an alarm or a damaged gate can need attention at any hour; rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are the core of most farm plans. Garages and dealers are over-represented as well, at 4.0% of local firms against 3.0% nationally. Their forecourts can use CCTV towers monitored through an NSI Gold accredited centre and night patrols to deter vehicle theft. Every officer in our local pool has cleared BS 7858 vetting and is paid through PAYE, so the person who turns up is properly screened. 10 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 7,960 Registered businesses in Carmarthenshire 6 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Estates, stations and venue nearby - **Industrial & business parks:** Capel Hendre Industrial Estate and Cylyrychen Industrial Estate - **Hospitals:** Amman Valley Hospital - **Rail stations:** Ammanford, Pantyffynnon and Llandybie ### Venues & Martyn's Law Ammanford Miners' Theatre stages performances within 5km.

Updated October 2026. Security Requirements in Ammanford ## Estates, stations and farmland Within 5km are Capel Hendre and Cylyrychen industrial estates, the Roberts Concrete works, Amman Valley Hospital and three stations at Ammanford, Pantyffynnon and Llandybie. There are six pubs and bars and one mapped construction site. Beyond those, the county's economy is led firmly by agriculture. Dyfed-Powys Police have raised concerns about e-scooters and scrambler bikes, as well as wider anti-social behaviour. Open yards and fields can attract that sort of riding, so patrols at irregular hours and cameras on access tracks are worth considering.
