Manufacturing's 8.3% share is close to double the 4.6% national figure, so production sites need access control, static guarding and alarm response. The motor trade is high too, at 4.9% against 3.0%, which brings demand for forecourt CCTV towers and overnight patrols. 15 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 3,445 Registered businesses in Cannock Chase 53 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Shopping, industry and venues in Cannock - **Industrial & business parks:** Martindale Trading Estate, CAT Finning UK, Poplars Anaerobic Digestion Facility, Eatons, APC overnight and Pye Green BT Tower - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Cannock Shopping Centre, Longford Retail Park, Orbital Centre, The Lightworks and Victoria Shopping Park - **Hospitals:** Cannock Chase Hospital - **Rail stations:** Cannock, Hednesford and Landywood ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Electric Palace Picture House, the Prince of Wales theatre, the Aquarius Ballroom and Hednesford Town Football Club are within 5km.

Security Requirements in Cannock ## Cannock's town centre and beyond Cannock Chase Hospital and stations at Cannock, Hednesford and Landywood bring steady footfall, and 53 pubs, bars and nightclubs keep the town busy after the shops close. Police concerns about youth violence in the town centre and anti-social behaviour linked to drug use show why daytime retail cover and evening door supervision both matter. Only three construction sites are mapped nearby, so building-site demand is modest.
