E-scooters.

Issued 03 February 2026

There have been no reports of nuisance e‑scooters in this area in recent months. We encourage residents to continue reporting any issues so we can identify problem locations and increase patrols where needed. This helps officers take action, including stopping and seizing e‑scooters that are being used illegally.

Drug dealing.

Issued 03 February 2026

Your local beat officer has gathered information from residents in the Beverley Meadow area, where drug dealing is believed to be taking place. Any details received have been submitted as intelligence to support wider police work. The location has now been prioritised for high‑visibility patrols, and the Neighbourhood Task Force has been requested to assist with targeted activity in the area.

Beat officers have made an arrest after stopping a suspect found in possession of a large quantity of suspected heroin. The investigation is ongoing.

Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

Residents have raised ongoing concerns about traffic outside St Stephen’s Primary School. Your local beat officer has been working with the school’s head teachers and providing a high‑visibility presence, supported by local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), to discourage drivers from stopping or parking on the zig‑zag lines.

We have also been liaising with St Stephen’s ward councillors, who are working with local residents to engage with Kent County Council about longer‑term solutions. One suggestion has been the use of large safety cones, similar to those used outside other schools, to highlight the presence of children and help reduce parking offences.
