Hildenborough

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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Fly tipping.

Issued 09 October 2025

We have not received any recent reports of fly‑tipping, and officers have not seen anything significant during patrols. However, this does not mean it is not happening. We rely on residents to help us identify issues, so if you see any fly‑tipping, please report it so we can look into it and take the right action.

Actioned 14 January 2026

Nuisance motorbikes.

Issued 09 October 2025

We haven’t had any recent calls about nuisance motorbikes, and this tends to be more of a seasonal issue, however patrols around the area continue and any nuisance bikes that are seen and able to be stopped will be spoken with and any offences dealt with. Earlier in the summer, a bike was seized as part of our enforcement work. We’re continuing to work with colleagues to address concerns in Hildenborough, which appear to originate from the Trench area.

Actioned 14 January 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 09 October 2025

We’ve carried out speed checks and stopped vehicles in the area to address concerns. Parking issues in Hildenborough have improved and seem to have calmed down. Looking ahead, we plan to carry out evening speed checks to tackle drink and drug driving.
