Fly-tipping.

Regular patrols are continuing in response to concerns raised by the public. Although the Council and the Environment Agency are the lead organisations for this issue, Kent Police is actively supporting their work and maintaining a visible presence in the area.

Antisocial behaviour - other.

PC Williams is working with the Child Centred Policing Team to identify those responsible and carries out regular high?visibility patrols in the area. Kent Police has a range of powers to deal with antisocial behaviour, and these will be used where appropriate to keep the community safe.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Regular patrols have taken place in response to concerns raised by the public. Through joint partnership work, officers identified a vehicle linked to a recent paintball incident, and those responsible have now been held to account.

Fly-tipping.

Your local Beat Team has been working closely with the Council, sharing all reports so that they can be properly logged and investigated by the lead agency responsible for waste‑related offences.

As part of this joint work, officers attended a site visit with the Environmental Team, where a drone was used to gather evidence of suspected fly‑tipping.

E-scooters/e-bikes.

There have been no calls relating to off road bikes/e-scooters/e-bikes, however PC Blakeman does carry out high visibility patrolling in the area on a regular basis.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Our officers continue to patrol the area and deal with any antisocial behaviour. We have only received a small number of calls about this, which is reassuring.

Road safety issues.

Following reports of nuisance driving in Mallard Way and Riddham Dock, targeted enforcement activity has been carried out to address concerns raised by residents. This has included the use of Section 35 dispersal powers, warning letters to registered vehicle keepers and the seizure of a vehicle linked to reported incidents. A Section 35 dispersal notice is a power that allows police to direct individuals to leave an area for a specified period to help prevent antisocial behaviour and disorder.

Proactive speed enforcement has also taken place in known hotspot locations, resulting in more than a dozen motorists being stopped and given advice about their driving behaviour. One vehicle was also seized after being found to be driven without valid insurance.

Officers will continue to carry out patrols and targeted enforcement activity to address road safety concerns, deter nuisance driving and improve safety for all road users.

Fly tipping.

Officers continue to work closely with the Environment Agency to tackle fly-tipping and environmental crime. As part of this partnership approach, drone flights have been deployed over suspected illegal waste sites to help gather evidence and support investigations.

Proactive patrols are also carried out at known fly-tipping hotspots, with officers stopping and checking suspicious vehicles where appropriate. This activity helps identify offenders, disrupt illegal waste disposal and protect the local environment.

We will continue to work with partner agencies, carry out targeted patrols and take action where offences are identified to reduce fly-tipping and its impact on local communities.

E-bikes/e-scooters.

Regular community drop-in sessions continue to provide opportunities for residents to speak directly with officers and share information about nuisance e-scooter and e-bike use. This engagement helps officers gather valuable intelligence about where these vehicles are being used, stored or linked to antisocial behaviour.

Information provided by the community plays an important role in supporting targeted patrols and enforcement activity, helping officers identify offenders and take appropriate action. We will continue to work with residents and partner agencies to tackle nuisance vehicle use and improve safety within the local area.
