Current Priorities

Issue

Nuisance vehicles.

Action

A Section 34 Dispersal Order is regularly implemented and publicised through local media to deter nuisance vehicles. This order gives police additional powers to direct individuals to leave a specified area if their behaviour is likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. It serves as both a preventative measure and an enforcement tool to address ongoing issues with nuisance vehicles.

Issue

Graffiti.

Action

Patrols have been increased in key locations, with joint efforts alongside Swale Borough Council to remove existing graffiti. Areas affected by graffiti are more likely to be targeted again, so prompt removal is a key part of prevention.

Issue

Antisocial rowdy behaviour.

Action

Increased visibility of Neighbourhood Beat Officers and the Neighbourhood Task Force to tackle incidents of rowdy or disruptive behaviour.
