Road safety.

Issued 03 February 2026

We continue to focus on a range of road safety issues in the ward using different policing approaches.

Over the past three months, officers have made arrests for drink and drug driving and carried out a high number of traffic stops linked to poor driving behaviour. Vehicles being used illegally, including e‑scooters, have been seized, and a number of drivers have been prosecuted for road traffic offences. These include driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. Please report any concerns through the Kent Police website.

Drug dealing.

Issued 03 February 2026

We are using a mix of high‑visibility patrols and plain‑clothes patrols to tackle street‑level drug dealing and gather information about wider drug supply networks. Officers use stop and search powers where appropriate to disrupt this activity and collect intelligence.

Information gathered through stop searches and arrests has led to several warrants being carried out in connection with drug supply in the area. We continue to target people and vehicles involved in supplying drugs and act on intelligence and reports provided by the community.
