Road safety issues.

Issued 09 October 2025

We have been focusing on improving road safety in the area. Officers carried out speed checks on Priory Road, and regular roadside and system checks have been completed during patrols to identify any offences involving vehicles or drivers. During this work, a car was stopped on Baker Lane for having no insurance, and the driver was issued with a traffic offence report and required to attend court. We will continue taking firm action to help keep local roads safe.

Drug taking.

Issued 09 October 2025

Drug-related issues remain a challenge in some parts of our neighbourhood, but we are committed to tackling them. When drug activity takes place in public, we take firm action. Recently, a local resident received a suspended sentence after we obtained a warrant and searched their address. By targeting those who supply drugs, we aim to reduce availability and, in turn, limit drug use in our area. Working together, we can make our neighbourhood safer and healthier for everyone.

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 09 October 2025

We recently shared news through My Community Voice and the Tonbridge Newsletter to remind people who live here that e-scooters are not allowed to be used on public roads and pavements. Anyone using them incorrectly risk having their scooter seized. Colleagues from the Child Centred Policing Team have been into local schools and provided facts and advice around e-scooters and where they can be used. Our aim is to keep everyone safe and informed—please help us by following the rules and encouraging others to do the same.
