Community Speedwatch volunteers continue to monitor speeding hotspots across North Downs East, with a particular focus on the Densole area. The Kent and Medway Speedwatch van has also been deployed to support this work.

Information is being gathered on roads where speeding remains a regular concern. This will be shared with partner organisations so they can consider whether 20 miles per hour limits may be suitable in certain locations around Hawkinge. This work is being supported by Hawkinge Town Council.

There has been an increase in reports of nuisance motorbikes and e‑scooters in the East Downs ward. Similar issues have also been identified in the western areas of Dover.

In response, Community Safety Officers from Dover and Folkestone carried out proactive patrols across the neighbouring areas and followed up enquiries. This work resulted in four arrests and the recovery of three stolen motorbikes.

Community Safety Officers in Folkestone and Dover will continue to target those involved in motorbike theft and anyone riding vehicles in a reckless or dangerous way that puts the public at risk.
