Security in Goole — what we know
East Riding planning and investment sources identify Goole as the UK’s furthest inland port and an important logistics and manufacturing hub, with strong links to the M62 and Humber economy. Port-related, distribution and advanced-manufacturing sites may need controlled vehicle access, gatehouse or perimeter management and resilient CCTV. Commercial premises and sites operating outside standard hours may instead need keyholding, alarm response or patrol checks. Security should reflect the actual operating pattern rather than assume a permanent guarding requirement.
