Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

Road Safety continues to be a concern for many residents, and PC Bailey takes these worries seriously. Tackling this problem is not something that can be fixed with a single roadside check, so she is focusing on a longer term plan to understand which roads are causing the most risk. As part of this work, she has been speaking with drivers across her wards about improving their driving, slowing down, and keeping others safe. She is also working closely with the council and specialist teams within Kent Police as part of her ongoing approach to reducing speeding.

PC Bailey encourages residents to continue sharing their concerns with her. You can speak with her at her ward surgeries or contact her through My Community Voice. If you are not yet signed up, simply search “My Community Voice” online and follow the steps to join.

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 03 February 2026

PC Bailey continues to focus on tackling antisocial behaviour across her wards. She has been spending time in parks, streets and retail areas where residents and businesses have reported concerns. During her patrols, she has spoken with young people gathering in these locations, helping them understand how their behaviour can affect others in the community. She has also visited local shops to ensure staff feel safe and supported.

As the summer months approach, a period when antisocial behaviour often increases, PC Bailey is already planning ahead with colleagues. This includes preparing school inputs and increasing visible patrols to help prevent issues before they begin.

E-scooters/e-bikes.

Issued 03 February 2026

PC Bailey understands that e‑scooters and e‑bikes continue to cause worry and frustration for many people in the community. When she is out on patrol, she stops riders to explain the rules and why safe, lawful riding is important. She takes a firm, zero‑tolerance approach and, if someone refuses to listen or continues to ride illegally, she will take stronger action, including seizing the scooter and beginning enforcement procedures.

This issue affects the whole of Thanet. Because of this, officers across the district take part in regular operations to tackle illegal and dangerous riding. Police also speak with local shops to make sure retailers understand the rules around selling e‑scooters and e‑bikes.
