Boxley Downs — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Regular high-visibility patrols have been carried out in identified hotspot areas to address antisocial behaviour and provide reassurance to residents. Officers are working closely with Golding Homes, carrying out joint visits and sharing information to identify problem locations and tackle behaviours that are having a negative impact on the community. This partnership approach helps raise awareness of local issues, supports early intervention and contributes to reducing antisocial behaviour across the area.

Fly tipping.

We have worked alongside Maidstone Borough Council's Waste Crime Team to carry out joint days of action targeting fly-tipping hotspots, vehicles and suspected offenders. This partnership approach allows information to be shared more effectively, helping to identify those responsible and take appropriate action. Officers will continue to work with partner agencies to tackle fly-tipping, protect the local environment and deter future offences. Residents are encouraged to report any incidents of fly-tipping or suspicious activity to help support these efforts.

Road safety issues.

We have worked closely with residents, parish councils and Maidstone Borough Council to identify key road safety concerns across the area. In response to reports of obstructive parking in Sandling, Maidstone Borough Council has deployed enforcement officers to carry out patrols and take action where necessary. Officers have also seized an untaxed vehicle on Impton Lane that had previously been clamped by the DVLA. In addition, discussions continue with Detling Parish Council to address ongoing concerns on Hockers Lane, including speeding and the use of the road by heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and tankers. Through continued partnership working, we aim to improve road safety and address issues affecting local residents.
