Westerhope is ringed by working estates, from Airport Industrial Estate and Newburn Industrial Estate to Stargate, and by retail at West Denton and Kingston Park, giving local security a strongly commercial focus.
Trusted Protection in Westerhope
Six industrial sites and several retail parks fall inside 5km of Westerhope, including Addison Industrial Estate, Whithouse Industrial Estate, St James Retail Park and Belvedere Retail Park. Yards like these hold stock, vehicles and plant, while the retail parks see steady footfall. With Northumbria Police naming shoplifting and vehicle crime as priorities, Westerhope firms tend to need two things: visible officers on shop floors and patrols that check yards and car parks after closing.
