Security Requirements in Atherstone ## A Warwickshire town built on industry Atherstone is a Warwickshire town in the West Midlands, and its commercial map is mostly industrial: the JLR National Distribution Centre, Netherwood Estate, Carlyon Road and Holly Lane industrial estates, Sykes Timber and Tow-trust towbars. There is one station, 30 pubs and bars within 5km and six mapped building sites. Large distribution and manufacturing sites hold high-value stock and vehicles, and their perimeters stretch a long way. An officer on the gate controls who comes in, while a patrol walking the fence line catches what a single post would miss, so the two work best together.
