West Mercia Police in Madeley have set three priorities for the coming months: anti-social behaviour, drug use and nuisance motorbikes. Our patrols, CCTV towers and guards help businesses deal with the side effects of all three.
Trusted Protection in Madeley
The Woodside and Madeley neighbourhood team chose its priorities from resident feedback and crime data. General anti-social behaviour comes first, drug taking second and off-road bikes ridden through public spaces third. For businesses, that tends to mean damage to shutters and fencing, groups gathering near entrances after hours and bikes cutting across sites and car parks. Mobile patrols, monitored CCTV and properly secured perimeters on Madeley's industrial estates and building sites address those risks directly.
Madeley Business Profile
Telford and Wrekin has 5,900 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group at 775, with leisure and entertainment close behind at 635 and professional services at 630. Leisure firms make up 10.8% of the total, well above the 7.2% British average, so event security, stewarding and Martyn's Law readiness are regular needs. Building contractors, meanwhile, need towers and patrols to keep plant and materials where they left them.
Manufacturing is the other standout, at 7.7% of businesses compared with 4.6% nationally. Production sites generally call for static guarding, access control and alarm response, often around the clock. Every officer we provide holds an SIA licence, has passed BS 7858 screening and is employed directly on PAYE, and our in-house control room follows each shift through GPS book-on and digital reporting.
The QE11 Arena, Cineworld and the Odeon all hold large audiences, and venues expecting 200 or more people will need to meet Martyn's Law when it starts. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Madeley's surroundings are dense with business premises. Pioneer Park, Lightmoor, Jackfield and Heath Hill industrial estates and The Bridges Business Park are all within 5km, as are Telford Shopping Centre, Telford Bridge Retail Park and Maws Craft Centre.
Leisure is a strong thread too, with the Kaleidoscope Theatre, an open-air theatre, two cinemas and 58 pubs, bars and nightclubs in range. Security therefore has to cover production, retail and evening crowds, often for businesses only a short distance apart.

Madeley Security FAQs
They can deter it. Off-road bikes in public spaces are one of the local police team's three priorities. Mobile patrols at the times bikes appear, CCTV towers to capture evidence and checks on fencing and gates make a site less attractive to riders.
