Off-road bikes and youths gathering at the sports centre after hours are the two issues residents raised with Cleator Moor's police team. Our patrols and monitored CCTV help businesses deal with both.
Trusted Protection in Cleator Moor
Cumbria Constabulary's Cleator Moor team has two priorities, both raised by the community. One is off-road bikes causing problems in Cleator Moor and Frizington. The other is youths causing anti-social behaviour at the sports centre's artificial pitch once it has closed. For businesses, these point to the same weak spots: open yards, unlit car parks and premises left empty in the evening, where visible patrols and cameras make a practical difference.
Cleator Moor Business Profile
Officers we place in Cleator Moor hold an SIA licence, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are employed through PAYE. Most local premises do not need a guard all night; scheduled mobile patrols, key holding and alarm response suit them better, with GPS book-on giving each visit a time-stamped entry in the report our 24/7 control room sends afterwards.
Of Cumberland's 10,640 registered firms, 2,245 are agricultural, so farming accounts for 21.1% of the district's businesses compared with 4.5% for Britain as a whole. Construction (1,440) and hospitality (1,010) come next. Farmyards and outbuildings call for roving rural checks and solar-powered camera towers, and with hospitality also above the national share at 9.5%, the 28 local pubs, bars and nightclubs give door supervisors regular evening work.
The Recreation Ground is the named sports venue within 5km. If an event there attracts 200 or more people, Martyn's Law will apply after it begins, and our stewards and event officers can help organisers prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
