Working Together to Keep Our Community Safe

Resident

We would like to update you on some positive work recently undertaken by your local Neighbourhood Policing Team.

What we did:
Working jointly in partnership with Local Authority Parking Enforcement officer, your Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted a hi-vis operation to address illegal/unsafe parking outside St Mary's RC primary school in the Tankerton area. 

Location:
Northwood Road, Tankerton

Date:
12/11/2026

Outcome:
Neighbourhood Police officers issued 2 Traffic Offence reports for a variety of offences including insurance and mobile phone usage. 

Why this matters:

This activity supports our commitment to improving road safety and reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on Kent’s roads. The offences identified during this op, using a mobile phone at the wheel, form one of the “Fatal 4”. These behaviours are among the most significant contributory factors in serious and fatal road traffic collisions.

Through proactive enforcement and engagement, we are supporting Vision Zero, the long-term ambition to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on Kent’s roads. Every vehicle stop provides an opportunity to identify unsafe driving, educate road users, and take positive action to protect our communities.

We would like to thank members of the public for their continued support. Information and concerns reported by residents help us identify road safety issues and direct our patrols where they are needed most.

If you have concerns about road safety, anti-social driving, or other issues affecting your community, please continue to report them through the appropriate channels.

Thank you for your continued support.
