Off-road bikes and vehicles driven in an anti-social way are the one priority Gwent Police have set for Blaina. We help yards, estates and shops in this Ebbw Fach valley town keep their ground secure.
Trusted Protection in Blaina
Blaina is a former mining town in the Ebbw Fach valley, and the local neighbourhood team's single stated concern is motorbikes and vehicles being ridden anti-socially. For a business, that usually means unfenced land, perimeter gates and parked plant being used as a route or a playground. Mobile patrols, lit CCTV towers and a clear alarm response plan, logged by our 24/7 control room, give owners a record of every visit and every incident.
Blaina Business Profile
Blaenau Gwent has 1,335 registered businesses, and construction leads with 245 of them. Retail follows on 140 and hospitality on 130. Building firms tend to leave plant, fuel and materials on site after dark, so patrol checks and towers watched by an NSI Gold accredited monitoring centre are a sensible base. Shops and cafés on the high street lean more towards alarm response and key holding.
Two sectors stand well above the national picture. Manufacturing accounts for 8.6% of local firms against 4.6% across Britain, and production units benefit from static guarding, controlled entry and alarm response. The motor trade sits at 6.4% compared with 3.0%, so forecourts and repair garages are worth covering with CCTV towers and overnight patrols. Every officer we place is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE.
Eugene Cross Park, The Beaufort Theatre and the Metropole Cultural and Conference Centre all fall within 5km. Martyn's Law is set to bring duties for venues holding 200 or more people, and we can help organisers with searches, stewarding and evacuation planning before then.

Blaina Security FAQs
Gwent Police list anti-social off-road riding as Blaina's priority. We can't police public roads, but on your own site mobile patrols, CCTV towers with monitoring and secured gates make private land less attractive, and every visit is recorded with GPS book-on.
