Security Requirements in St Mary Cray

## Yards, stations and hospitals

The town's character comes from its industrial parks and transport links. Pembroke Business Centre, Crayfields and The Grove give it a strong base of warehouses and units, while Petts Wood, Orpington, Swanley and Chislehurst stations connect it to neighbouring areas. Queen Mary's Hospital, Orpington Hospital and Chelsfield Park Hospital are inside 5km too, and 44 licensed premises provide an evening trade.

For security, that translates into overnight rounds on the estates, visible cover for shoppers at Nugent and Klinger Park during the day, and reliable alarm attendance for the many units left empty at weekends.
