Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

We have been carrying out high‑visibility patrols in areas where concerns have been raised about road safety. Officers completed speed checks using a handheld device, stopped and reported drivers where necessary, and provided advice and education to those whose driving did not meet the expected standard.

This work has been carried out alongside colleagues from the Road Safety Unit, as well as partner agencies including the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) and Dover District Council. Working together helps us take a coordinated approach to improving road safety.

Officers have also spoken with local residents to offer reassurance. Ongoing concerns raised by the community have been shared with Kent County Council Highways so they can consider longer‑term solutions, such as improved signage or traffic‑calming measures.

Fly tipping.

Issued 03 February 2026

Keeping our neighbourhoods clean is something we all care about, and fly‑tipping affects everyone.

Although Dover District Council is responsible for enforcing fly‑tipping offences and removing dumped waste, your local police teams are committed to supporting the community when fly‑tipping becomes a concern. We work closely with Dover District Council to share information, identify those responsible, and maintain a visible police presence in areas where reports increase.

If you come across fly‑tipping, you can help by reporting it directly to Dover District Council using their online service at www.dover.gov.uk/report. Providing details, and photographs if it is safe to do so, helps the council respond quickly.

By reporting issues and looking out for one another, we can help protect our shared spaces and keep our communities clean, safe and welcoming.
