Current priorities
Nuisance vehicles.
The local neighbourhood officer is aware of ongoing concerns about off-road quad bikes accessing the quarry via Laburnum Avenue. Enquiries are ongoing with the landowner to identify potential measures that may help prevent unauthorised access and reduce the impact on the local community. Officers will continue to monitor the situation and respond to any reports received. Residents are encouraged to report any incidents or concerns to Kent Police, as this helps officers build an accurate picture of the issue and target patrols where they are needed most.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
We are aware of ongoing antisocial behaviour (ASB) concerns in Swanley Park and are working closely with the local council and other partner agencies to identify long-term solutions. The area is currently subject to a problem-solving plan, which helps officers and partners coordinate their response and address the root causes of the issues. To help reduce antisocial behaviour and provide reassurance to the community, there will be an increased police presence in Swanley Park throughout the summer months. Officers will continue to patrol the area, engage with park users and take appropriate action where offences are identified. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).
