Little Stour & Adisham

Road safety issues.

Officers are aware of concerns about speeding in the area and continue to work with local communities to address the issue.

Speed checks have been carried out by Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and Community Speedwatch volunteers in locations where speeding has been reported. This activity helps identify problem areas, encourage safer driving and support enforcement where necessary.

We will continue to monitor concerns, carry out speed enforcement activity and work with road safety partners to help improve safety for all road users.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

We have received reports of antisocial behaviour involving motorbikes in the area. In response, officers have increased foot patrols and high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised.

Patrol activity is focused on identifying those responsible and gathering information about where the motorcycles are being used and stored. This helps officers take targeted action to disrupt antisocial behaviour and deal with offences where there is sufficient evidence.

We will continue to monitor reports, carry out patrols and work to identify those involved so that appropriate enforcement action can be taken.

Drink/drug driving.

Officers have carried out both vehicle and foot patrols in the area as part of ongoing efforts to improve road safety and address concerns raised by the community.

We are working with local businesses and other partners to identify and deter drink-driving offences. Officers are also gathering information from residents to help identify and target those suspected of driving under the influence of drugs.

Information provided by the public plays an important role in helping officers focus patrols and enforcement activity. We will continue to work with local communities and partner organisations to help keep roads safe and take action where offences are identified.
