Dog fouling.

While this is understandably a concern for local residents, it is primarily a matter for the local Council. However, it may fall under general antisocial behaviour. Beat officers who witness such incidents will engage in educational conversations with those involved and, where appropriate, pass the details on to the Council for further action.

Antisocial behaviour.

Marked and unmarked patrols are being carried out across the area, with officers conducting stop searches and using antisocial behaviour powers where appropriate. This work is being done in partnership with Sevenoaks District Council, local Parish Councils, and other partners. Officers are also engaging with the local community to provide updates and gather intelligence.

Fly tipping.

Beat officers are patrolling areas affected by fly-tipping and are working with the Council’s Waste Management team to carry out joint operations. They are also checking waste carrier licences and inspecting vehicles suspected of transporting scrap to ensure all documentation is in order.
