Road safety issues.

Issued: 3 Feb 2026

Status Update

The local officer is planning dedicated days of action to carry out speed checks on roads highlighted by residents as areas of concern. At present, the officer is covering both Swanley and Hextable and must also respond to emergency calls, which can affect availability for routine speed checks.

The officer has been in regular contact with Kent County Councillor Dean Truder about speeding concerns and has also met with the team responsible for managing the Speedwatch vans. These vans are deployed using set criteria, including collision data, which helps decide where they can be used.

Reports from residents continue to be reviewed to identify the roads most affected by speeding. This helps ensure future activity is targeted where it will have the greatest impact.
