Construction tops the count at 610, agriculture sits close behind at 565 and professional services at 470. Farming's 15.1% share is more than three times Britain's 4.5%, and quad bikes, fuel and tools kept in open yards are frequent targets. Rural patrols and solar camera towers give farms a watch they cannot keep themselves after dark. The motor trade also stands above the national figure, at 3.7% against 3.0%. Forecourts and used-car lots on the edge of town need overnight patrols and CCTV towers to deter vehicle theft.
