Fly tipping.

Kent Police are monitoring all reports of fly?tipping and working closely with the local authority to ensure any debris is removed as quickly as possible.

E-scooters.

Officers have visited local schools to give presentations highlighting the dangers and risks of using e?scooters in public places, helping young people make safer choices.

Antisocial behaviour.

We review all reports of antisocial behaviour and carry out follow?up visits where appropriate. When individuals are identified, we take positive action. These calls are also discussed at our daily meetings with partner agencies to ensure the right support is offered where needed.

Criminal damage/catapults.

Local beat officers are carrying out proactive patrols in and around Swanley Park to help identify people and vehicles linked to catapult use or poaching‑related activity.

Kent Police works closely with specialist wildlife officers and partner agencies to investigate and prevent these offences, helping to protect local wildlife and the surrounding countryside.

Members of the public are encouraged to report any suspected use of catapults or poaching activity. During the summer months, officers will carry out targeted activity to address catapult use, and enforcement action will be taken where offences are identified.

Vehicle crime.

Vehicle crime remains an issue in this area and nearby locations, with offenders targeting both vehicles and items left inside them.

Beat officers have increased patrols in areas identified as hotspots and are working closely with intelligence teams and neighbouring police forces to help identify those responsible.

Officers continue to provide crime‑prevention advice to residents and encourage people to report any suspicious activity promptly. This helps ensure police resources are used where they are needed most.

Advice has also been shared through My Community Voice, the police messaging service, following reports of attempted thefts from vehicles and the theft of catalytic converters.

Nuisance vehicles/e-scooters.

Nuisance vehicles in this and surrounding wards remain a priority. By their nature, these issues can be difficult to target directly, but the Neighbourhood Task Force continues to focus on identifying those responsible.

Officers from the Community Safety Unit recently seized a motorbike after the rider was issued with a Section 59 warning. Work is ongoing to identify people riding these bikes and to establish where the motorcycles are being stored, so officers can address the source of the problem.

We encourage the public to report all nuisance vehicle activity. Information from residents helps police target resources effectively and supports ongoing enforcement action.

Nuisance vehicles.

The local neighbourhood officer is aware of ongoing concerns about off-road quad bikes accessing the quarry via Laburnum Avenue. Enquiries are ongoing with the landowner to identify potential measures that may help prevent unauthorised access and reduce the impact on the local community. Officers will continue to monitor the situation and respond to any reports received. Residents are encouraged to report any incidents or concerns to Kent Police, as this helps officers build an accurate picture of the issue and target patrols where they are needed most.

Vehicle crime/damage.

There have been minimal reports of this issue in the area. Local officers will continue to monitor the situation and respond to any concerns raised.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

We are aware of ongoing antisocial behaviour (ASB) concerns in Swanley Park and are working closely with the local council and other partner agencies to identify long-term solutions. The area is currently subject to a problem-solving plan, which helps officers and partners coordinate their response and address the root causes of the issues.

To help reduce antisocial behaviour and provide reassurance to the community, there will be an increased police presence in Swanley Park throughout the summer months. Officers will continue to patrol the area, engage with park users and take appropriate action where offences are identified.
