Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

Offham Parish is progressing plans to reduce the speed limit on the main village road from 30 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour. Officers have maintained a regular presence in Offham, both on foot and in marked patrol vehicles, providing reassurance and speaking with residents about their concerns.

Police have also worked with the local quarry following reports of heavy goods vehicles mounting pavements. Since temporary roadworks and traffic lights have been removed, this route is reported to be used less often by lorries, helping to reduce disruption in the village.

Across West Malling, patrol officers continue to stop vehicles and take action for a range of driving offences, helping to address road safety concerns and maintain a visible police presence.
