Overall crime is light: Police.uk mapped 142 offences in the surrounding mile across twelve months. The local economy leans on hospitality and agriculture, both well above the national share. That points to door supervisors for busy evenings at pubs and venues, and patrols or remote cameras for farms and holiday premises left unattended. - Police priority: anti-social behaviour - 142 offences in the surrounding mile - Hospitality is 11.2% of local businesses - Wells Maltings and an events area within 5km Get a Quote [View Wells-next-the-Sea on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Wells-next-the-Sea%2C%20Norfolk) Wells-next-the-Sea Business Profile ## North Norfolk's businesses and our officers North Norfolk has 4,195 registered businesses. Construction leads with 625, agriculture follows with 520 and hospitality with 470. Hospitality's share, 11.2% against 6.5% nationally, means more pubs, restaurants and guest houses than usual, so extra hands on the door are a regular request in season. Farming, at 12.4% against 4.5%, brings barns and machinery that suit rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers. Anyone we post to Wells-next-the-Sea carries an SIA card, has come through BS 7858 background checks and is a salaried PAYE employee of the network. A GPS ping marks the moment they arrive, and a short electronic report follows each call-out. Our 24/7 control room takes alarm activations and arranges key holding, which suits seasonal businesses closed for part of the year. 4,195 Registered businesses in North Norfolk 10 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Named places near Wells-next-the-Sea - **Industrial & business parks:** Whin Hill Cider Ltd ### Venues & Martyn's Law Wells Maltings arts centre and an open events area are the two named venues nearby.

Security Requirements in Wells-next-the-Sea ## A small town with seasonal needs Mapping turns up only a handful of named sites in the 5km circle: Whin Hill Cider, Wells Maltings, an events area, ten licensed premises and a pair of building plots. Trains and shopping parks are absent, and Fakenham, our closest listed town, is 9 miles off. What owners worry about here is the shuttered holiday let in February and the barn standing alone in open farmland, so remote cameras and a keyholder usually beat a permanent post.

Of those, 69 were violence and sexual offences, roughly half. Anti-social behaviour reached 17, criminal damage and arson 16, public order 13 and other theft 12. With counts this modest, Police.uk gives no quarter-on-quarter comparison. Even so, nuisance and damage are what tend to hit a pub, gift shop or rental cottage, and those are exactly what local officers have chosen to concentrate on. 142 Recorded crimes in 12 months 69 Violence & sexual offences 17 Anti-social behaviour 16 Criminal damage & arson 13 Public order 12 Other theft Source: [Police.uk](https://www.police.uk) open data, street-level crime within ~1 mile, September 2025 to August 2026.

Wells-next-the-Sea Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Is a guard overkill for a quiet coastal town? Often it would be. A year's total of 142 offences inside the mile is small, so most owners settle on a keyholder, someone to answer the alarm and the odd patrol drive-by, all coordinated from our round-the-clock control room. ### Can we get door cover for the summer season? Yes. Pubs, cafés and guest houses are 11.2% of North Norfolk's firms, against Britain's 6.5%, and ten licensed premises operate within 5km. We can book licensed door supervisors for peak weekends, festivals and private parties. ### Can you protect farms near Wells-next-the-Sea? Farming makes up 12.4% of the district's businesses, close to three times the British rate. Camera towers charged by solar panels need no cable to the grid, and a patrol car can loop several holdings in one night. ### What are the police focusing on? After looking at their figures and hearing from residents, local officers have stuck with anti-social behaviour as the issue to tackle. Visible patrols and cameras monitored by an NSI Gold accredited centre give businesses a way to back that up. ### Do you cover Fakenham and Holt? We do. Fakenham lies 9 miles away and Holt 11 miles, while Sheringham and Hunstanton are 15 miles each. Every officer there works to the same screening and reporting standards.
