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. - Police targeting drug supply on Highbridge estates - Recorded crime up 5% in the latest quarter - Walrow Industrial Estate and Isleport Business Park nearby - Oaktree Park retail lies within 5km Get a Quote [View Highbridge on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Highbridge%2C%20Somerset) Highbridge Business Profile ## Network cover and Somerset's business base 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. 10 SIA-licensed officers within 10 miles 24,670 Registered businesses in Somerset 6 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 13 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Retail, industry and venues near Highbridge - **Industrial & business parks:** Premier Business Park, Walrow Industrial Estate and Isleport Business Park - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Oaktree Park - **Hospitals:** Burnham-on-Sea War Memorial Hospital - **Rail stations:** Highbridge and Burnham ### Venues & Martyn's Law Oak Tree Arena and Sky Bar Nightclub both sit within 5km of Highbridge.
