ASB - Broadstairs

Hello Residents

The warm weather is here and being half term we have already seen large groups of youths in the town. On 09/04/26 due to ongoing ASB a Sec 34 Dispersal order was issued. Beat officer colleagues, Neighbourhood task force colleagues and I were in the town on the afternoon of 09/04/26. Whilst in the town a large group of youths were located in PIERREMONT PARK. We have used the dispersal powers on these youths, those who chose not to leave swiftly were provided dispersal paperwork, for two people. Whilst engaging with local youths a group from Canterbury has arrived, with several being dispersed as well, totalling 4 from this group. A further four local youths were dispersed after lingering in the town area. With an E-scooter seized from one also. This was all whilst a colleague and I were on pedal cycles in the town. 

The summer will be busy, but I am hoping through early intervention with these groups, it will prevent more issues later this summer. 

Thank you

PC ABSOLON
