Security Requirements in Petersfield ## Station, hospital and industrial park Petersfield's named commercial sites are few: Upper Adhurst Industrial Park, Petersfield Hospital and the railway station. Around 18 pubs and bars operate within 5km, and no construction sites are currently mapped. The security picture is therefore dominated by offices, shops and evening venues rather than building sites, which favours reception staff, alarm response and evening patrols over heavy site guarding.
