Nuisance vehicles on Park Pale.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have carried out regular patrols of the area and have seen what appears to be a noticeable reduction in incidents involving nuisance bikes. In addition, bollards at the bottom of Park Pale have been repositioned to make it more difficult for riders to access and leave the area quickly.

These measures appear to be having a positive impact, and we will continue to monitor the area and respond to any reports from the community.

Nuisance vehicles.

Issued 21 July 2026

Concerns have been raised regarding heavy goods vehicles using roads in Higham that are not considered suitable for their size, despite advisory signage being in place.

Alongside regular patrols, officers are working with Gravesham Borough Council and other partners to explore ways of improving the current signage. Discussions are underway regarding options that could make restrictions more effective and enforceable in the future.

We will continue working with partner agencies to address these concerns and improve road safety for residents and all road users.
