Highbridge's neighbourhood officers have stepped up high-visibility patrols to disrupt drug supply on local estates and main roads. Businesses on Walrow and Isleport can add their own deterrent with licensed guards, mobile patrols and monitored cameras.
Trusted Protection in Highbridge
The Burnham and Highbridge team has three concerns on its list: drugs on Highbridge housing estates and nearby roads, anti-social driving around Pier Street Car Park, and groups of young people in Burnham town centre. Each touches commercial property. Car parks, retail units and industrial yards near main roads can attract loitering, damage and late-night driving. Visible patrols, good lighting and recorded CCTV help firms keep those problems off their own land.
Highbridge Business Profile
Our Highbridge roster is ten people, every one living inside a 10-mile radius and every one carrying a live SIA licence. Because that group is modest, many clients here combine mobile patrols, which can visit several premises a night, with alarm response from our 24/7 control room. Every officer is BS 7858 vetted and paid via PAYE, and each visit is logged by GPS.
Of Somerset's 24,670 registered businesses, 3,685 are in construction, 3,525 in agriculture and 3,100 in professional services. Farming makes up 14.3% of firms against 4.5% nationally, and the motor trade 3.8% against 3.0%. Rural sites tend to need solar CCTV towers and patrols, while forecourts and vehicle dealers face theft risk overnight and benefit from towers and late patrol visits.
Oak Tree Arena and Sky Bar Nightclub both sit within 5km of Highbridge. Where venues admit 200 or more people, Martyn's Law will set duties once it takes effect, and our door supervisors and stewards can help licensees meet them. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Highbridge
Highbridge shares a station, Highbridge and Burnham, with its neighbour two miles away, and the police team covers both. Premier Business Park, Walrow Industrial Estate and Isleport Business Park provide the working sites, Oaktree Park the shopping, and Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital the healthcare. Add 13 pubs and bars and six construction sites, and the area needs a mix of day guarding, evening door work and overnight patrols.
