E-Scooter/E-Bikes.

We have been carrying out high?visibility patrols in the area. We are working with the community to find out where illegal e?scooters are being kept and who owns them. We are dealing with any offences we find, giving out Section?59 warnings, and seizing scooters when needed. A Section?59 warning is a formal notice given when a vehicle is used in a way that is careless, inconsiderate, or causes alarm, distress, or annoyance. The warning lasts for 12 months, and if the same person or vehicle behaves in the same way again, the police can seize the vehicle.

Highway obstructions.

We are working with Medway Council to help deal with parking problems in the area. This includes asking them to visit and enforce the parking rules when needed. We are also identifying the people causing the problems and taking appropriate action.

Fly-tipping.

We are working with Medway Council to clear away fly?tipping and to find out who is responsible. We are using local CCTV to help identify the people involved and make sure they are held to account. We have also asked the council to place a rapid?deployment camera on a road where there have been problems. This will act as a warning and will help us identify suspects more quickly.

E-scooter/e-bikes.

We are carrying out high‑visibility patrols in the area and working with local people to identify where e‑scooters are being kept and who owns them. Officers are dealing with offences and have issued Section 59 warnings where needed.

A Section 59 warning is used when a vehicle is being used in an antisocial or dangerous way. If the behaviour continues after a warning, the vehicle can be seized.

We are also working closely with the council to address problem parking in the area.

Highway obstructions.

We have increased patrols in areas where parking issues have been raised with us at local police surgeries. Officers are taking action where needed, including asking vehicles to move on. We are also working closely with the council on highway‑related issues, sharing information about problem areas. In addition, we have arranged a joint operation with civil enforcement officers to focus on the locations residents have highlighted.

Dog fouling.

We have reported the problem areas to the local council. They will take action against anyone who does not clean up after their dog.

E-scooters and e-bikes.

Officers have been carrying out patrols in areas known for the use of e‑scooters and e‑bikes.

During these patrols, riders have been stopped and given advice and warnings to help prevent antisocial behaviour.

Dog fouling.

Officers are working closely with the local council to address concerns about dog fouling and support enforcement activity where issues are reported. Dog fouling can have a negative impact on public spaces, the local environment and public health, and responsibility for enforcing related offences rests with the local council. By sharing information and working together, police and council teams can help identify problem areas and take appropriate action where necessary. This partnership approach helps to keep parks, streets and other public spaces clean, safe and welcoming for residents and visitors.

Nuisance motorcycles.

Officers responded to reports of a nuisance motorcycle that was allegedly being used in a manner that caused concern and had been linked to damage to vehicles. Following enquiries, officers prevented the rider from leaving the area and took appropriate action. The suspect was arrested and dealt with in connection with a number of offences. Tackling nuisance motorcycle use remains a priority, as this type of behaviour can create safety concerns, cause damage and have a significant impact on local residents. Officers will continue to take robust action against those who use vehicles illegally or antisocially within the community.

Nuisance youths.

This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area.
