Security Requirements in Lostwithiel ## A quiet valley town with working sites The facts show a small place: six pubs and bars within 5km, no construction sites mapped and two stations, Lostwithiel itself and Bodmin Parkway. The industrial character comes from Restormel Industrial Estate, Duchy Timber and Trewithen Dairy, where stock, vehicles and machinery are left overnight. Isolated premises like these benefit from alarms linked to a control room that never closes, and from patrols that vary their timing so nobody watching can predict when an officer will next appear.
