A dispersal order has been put in place to tackle anti-social behaviour in Swale for the second weekend running.
It launched at 6pm on Thursday 1 June and remains in place until 6pm on Sunday 4 June 2023, again covering Sittingbourne Retail Park as well as the High Street.
The order has been implemented again to ensure a swift response to any reports of anti-social behaviour.
Inspector Vanessa Foster, from Swale’s Community Safety Unit, said: ‘Residents and business owners continue to raise concerns about nuisance behaviour in the area, including the reckless use of bikes and e-scooters. We are determined to respond to these concerns and Sittingbourne will see additional patrols this weekend.
‘The dispersal order gives our officers additional powers to move on anyone causing a nuisance and, if necessary, arrest those who return to the area once dispersed. Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and those responsible will be held to account.’
Anybody wanting to report instances of anti-social behaviour should report it online via the Kent Police website.
