Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 08 October 2025

Officers have held numerous 'coffee with a cop' sessions and surgeries, giving residents the chance to discuss any issues or concerns. Updates were provided and safety advice offered. Officers have also carried out high‑visibility and plain‑clothes patrols, identifying persistent offenders and enabling sanctions to be issued under the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. We continue to work closely with stakeholders to reduce opportunities for antisocial behaviour (ASB). Dartford Borough Council has been consulted about maintaining trees, bushes and shrubs on the Heath to help reduce ASB.

Road safety issues.

Issued 08 October 2025

Officers have been in contact with the local councillor, and as a result, warning letters have been sent to the owners of vehicles identified as parking inconsiderately. Local schools have also written to parents to remind them about their parking and to be mindful of where they leave their vehicles. Officers continue to carry out high‑visibility patrols in the affected areas and are moving vehicles on where necessary.
