Security Requirements in Charlbury ## A quiet town with rural surroundings With two railway stations, one named works site and a handful of pubs, Charlbury does not have the retail parks or nightlife of a bigger town. Its risks are more about empty premises, isolated farm buildings and offices left overnight. Key holding with alarm response and periodic patrol visits are usually a better fit here than a full-time guard.
