Lincolnshire Police's Wainfleet and Burgh Le Marsh team has two stated priorities: drugs with the anti-social behaviour that follows, and retail crime. We help Burgh-le-Marsh businesses respond to both.
Trusted Protection in Burgh-le-Marsh
Two concerns shape policing in Burgh-le-Marsh. The first, drug activity and the nuisance around it, tends to show up for businesses as loitering, littered doorways and damage to outbuildings. The second, retail crime, hits local shops directly. Our mobile patrols vary their timing to unsettle anyone using a quiet yard or car park, CCTV towers record what happens, and uniformed officers can be placed in shops during the hours that matter most.
Burgh-le-Marsh Business Profile
Burgh-le-Marsh is covered from our Lincolnshire network, with officers matched to each contract rather than drawn from a fixed village team. Everyone we send holds an SIA licence, has cleared BS 7858 vetting and is a PAYE employee. Each visit is logged through GPS book-on, and our control room is staffed day and night to receive alarms.
East Lindsey has 5,610 registered businesses, headed by agriculture at 990, construction at 760 and hospitality at 640. Farming's 17.6% share is almost four times Britain's 4.5%, making rural patrols and solar camera towers a natural fit. Hospitality is also high, 11.4% compared with 6.5%, so door supervisors and evening cover suit pubs, bars and function rooms.

Security Requirements in Burgh-le-Marsh
Within 5km, the named commercial sites are a cement factory and Sid Dennis & Sons, with 11 pubs, bars and nightclubs in the same radius. There are no mapped construction sites, stations or hospitals. Commercial life therefore rests on farms, a few industrial premises, shops and the hospitality trade.
Each of those faces different hours of risk: farms and works overnight, shops during trading, and licensed premises at closing time. A single contract can combine patrols, retail guarding and door staff to cover all three.

Burgh-le-Marsh Security FAQs
Drugs and the anti-social behaviour linked to them are the local police team's first priority. Visible patrols at unpredictable hours, with CCTV towers recording car parks and yards, make premises less attractive places to gather.
Retail crime is a stated police priority here, and Police.uk recorded 11 shoplifting offences nearby. A uniformed officer at busy times deters theft and supports staff in handling and reporting incidents.
With agriculture at 17.6% of local businesses, farm security is a core need. We use solar CCTV towers that need no mains power and rural patrols that check sheds, fuel and machinery at varied times.
Hospitality makes up 11.4% of East Lindsey businesses, well above 6.5% nationally. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors work weekends, events and busy seasons, trained in conflict management.
The twelve-month total within a mile was only 127 offences, 57 of them violence and sexual offences. Small numbers swing sharply, so a site-specific review is more useful than the headline figure.
