Security installation in Newtownards, in short
Newtownards, below Scrabo Tower and on the road to Strangford Lough and the Ards Peninsula, gets intruder alarms, access control, CCTV, electric gates and WiFi from the same team covering the rest of County Down. Every job, from a new-build estate to a shop on Conway Square, starts with a free site survey.
Local knowledge
A market town growing fast around its edges.
Newtownards has grown quickly over the past twenty years, and estates around Scrabo and Movilla are full of new-build houses with short run-ins from the road and gardens close to the neighbours on either side. That combination, a short distance from the front door to the road and houses built close together, usually means the survey is as much about keeping a camera's field of view on your own property as it is about coverage of the entrance itself.
The town centre itself, around Conway Square and the older streets running off it, is a working market town with shops, offices and public buildings, where CCTV is normally about a shopfront and a stockroom rather than a boundary. Out past the edge of town, towards the Ards Peninsula and the shore of Strangford Lough, the properties are more scattered: farms, smallholdings and detached houses with longer driveways and, in places, no power at the gate.
Council and roads
Below Scrabo Tower, on the edge of the lough.
Ards and North Down Borough Council covers planning in Newtownards, and the PSNI's Ards and North Down district covers policing, the same council area as Bangor along the coast. Scrabo Tower and Country Park look down over the town from the hill on the western side, and the A21 to Bangor, the A20 towards Portaferry and the peninsula, and the A22 to Comber all meet close to the centre.
Ards Business Centre and the units along Blair Mayne Road, named after the Newtownards-born founder of the SAS, hold a mix of offices and light industry, where CCTV over a car park and an alarm on the unit are the usual specification. Being close to Strangford Lough also means some of our rural work here is on farms right down to the shoreline.
