Towngate, Wakes, Carisbrooke and Newport Retail Park all fall within 5km, alongside Mountjoy Industrial Estate, New Barn Industrial Park and Island Technology Park. Police.uk recorded 3,161 crimes within a mile over the past year, with shoplifting up 19% on the previous comparable period. That points to two jobs: deterring theft on the shop floor, and keeping production and storage sites locked down when staff have gone home. - Four retail parks within 5km of the town - Shoplifting up 19% in the latest Police.uk figures - Hospitality at 12% of island businesses, nearly double GB - 26 pubs, bars and nightclubs in a 5km radius Get a Quote [View Newport on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Newport%2C%20Isle%20of%20Wight) Newport Business Profile ## How Isle of Wight businesses break down The Isle of Wight council area has 4,720 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group at 680, then hospitality at 565 and professional services at 545. Two sectors stand well above the national picture: hospitality at 12% against 6.5% across Great Britain, and manufacturing at 7.2% against 4.6%. Each brings its own pressure, from late-night trade at the bar to stock and machinery on a factory floor. For manufacturers on estates such as Mountjoy, the usual answer is static guarding, access control and alarm response, backed by our 24/7 control room. Hospitality operators lean towards door supervisors and evening cover. All officers we deploy are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and on PAYE, and every patrol is recorded through GPS book-on with a digital report sent afterwards. 4,720 Registered businesses in Isle of Wight 5 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 26 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Named sites around Newport - **Industrial & business parks:** Mountjoy Industrial Estate, Stone Farm Solar Park, New Barn Industrial Park, Island Technology Park, Island Crane Hire and Greenhill Anaerobic Digestion Plant - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Towngate Retail Park, Wakes Retail Park, Newport Retail Park and Carisbrooke Retail Park - **Hospitals:** Laidlaw Day Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, Earl Mountbatten Hospice and Mr Rohan Sawant (St Mary’s Hospital) ### Venues & Martyn's Law Newport's venues include the Apollo Theatre, Quay Arts Centre and Medina Theatre, and any admitting 200 or more people will be brought into Martyn's Law when its duties begin.
