Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 27 October 2025

The Neighbourhood Task Force Town Team continues to monitor reports of nuisance antisocial behaviour made to Kent Police, carrying out high‑visibility patrols in the area to deter and detect issues. A range of sanctions have been used, including arrests, Community Resolutions, Community Protection Notices and Acceptable Behaviour Agreements.

A Community Protection Notice is a formal notice telling someone their behaviour is causing harm to the community and must stop, while an Acceptable Behaviour Agreement is a written agreement setting out what behaviour must not continue and what is expected from the individual. These measures are used to help reduce further problems and encourage positive change. We encourage residents to keep reporting concerns so we can identify patterns and focus our resources where they are most needed.
