Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 08 October 2025

Officers have worked to engage with local landowners and stakeholders, encouraging them to support our efforts to tackle nuisance motorcycles. Several bikes have been seized and Traffic Offence Reports have been issued. Further work is underway to identify other riders, where they store their bikes, and the vehicles used to transport them to and from the locations. An anonymous portal has been created for residents to submit video or phone footage of nuisance bikes, riders and associated vehicles.

Actioned 19 January 2026

Fly tipping.

Issued 08 October 2025

Officers have worked closely with partner agencies, including Dartford Borough Council, and enforcement action has been taken against those identified as responsible. Engagement with local landowners has helped reduce repeat offending in secluded areas by limiting access, which in turn has helped prevent fly‑tipping. Officers have also carried out stop checks on lorries and vans believed to be carrying waste to ensure the correct documentation is in place.

Actioned 19 January 2026

Noise disturbances.

Issued 08 October 2025

Officers have been working with Dartford Borough Council regarding noise complaints, as responsibility lies with the council unless the issue falls under the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. Officers have visited the addresses involved, and in many cases, words of advice have been enough to resolve the problem.
