Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of Kent Police beat officers who are dedicated to keeping your community safe. They focus on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour, responding to local concerns, and building strong relationships with residents, community groups and local businesses.

Our officers will:

  • patrol to deter crime and reassure the public

  • hold regular engagement activities in the area, including attending community meetings to share advice and listen to concerns

  • work with partner agencies including councils, schools, charities, and local groups

  • tackle issues like antisocial behaviour, repeat offending, and vulnerability

  • build trust by being visible, approachable, and responsive

Neighbourhood policing is a key part of Kent Police’s commitment to being community-focused, visible, and responsive.

Actioned 20 July 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 22 April 2026

Various road safety operations have been carried out to address concerns about speeding, unsafe driving and nuisance vehicles linked to antisocial behaviour. These operations have included speed enforcement checks and patrols in areas where vehicle-related nuisance has been reported. Officers have also taken enforcement action against a range of driving offences to help improve safety on local roads. Multiple Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) have been issued for offences such as speeding, using a mobile phone while driving, failing to wear a seatbelt and driving vehicles with defects that could affect safety. A TOR is a formal record created by police when someone is suspected of committing a road traffic offence and may result in a fixed penalty notice, a driver education course or a court appearance. This ongoing work helps to improve road safety, reduce antisocial behaviour and make the area safer for motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other road users.

Actioned 30 June 2026

E-scooters/e-bikes.

Issued 22 April 2026

High-visibility patrols and marked police vehicles have been deployed regularly in the area to deter illegal and antisocial use of e-bikes and to reassure local residents. Officers are actively working to identify people using e-bikes unlawfully so that appropriate enforcement action can be taken where offences are identified. Some e-bikes may be ridden in a way that causes danger or nuisance to other road users and pedestrians, and police will investigate reports and take action where necessary. Any further incidents involving the illegal or antisocial use of e-bikes will be dealt with robustly to help improve safety and reduce the impact on the local community.

Actioned 30 June 2026

Fly tipping.

Issued 22 April 2026

Locations where waste has been identified have been reported to the local council so that appropriate action can be taken. Fly-tipping, which is the illegal dumping of waste, can harm the environment, create health and safety concerns and have a negative impact on local communities. Responsibility for removing fly-tipped waste and investigating related offences generally sits with the local council. Police and partner agencies will continue to report and monitor incidents, and anyone found responsible for fly-tipping will be dealt with appropriately. This partnership approach helps to keep the area clean, protect the local environment and improve the quality of life for residents.
