Road safety.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers from local neighbourhood policing teams are working with colleagues from across Kent Police to tackle traffic offences and improve road safety. This includes carrying out targeted enforcement activity at key locations across the area. Information provided by residents helps officers identify repeat offenders and focus their efforts where they are needed most. Officers also use speed detection equipment to help deter speeding and encourage safer driving. Residents who would like to support road safety in their community may wish to get involved in Community Speedwatch, a volunteer-led scheme that allows trained members of the public to monitor vehicle speeds and help raise awareness of speeding issues in their local area.
