Nuisance bikes

Hello,

As we head into the summer months, we're seeing an increase in reports of nuisance motorbikes and electric bikes across our communities.

These bikes can cause issues ranging from noise and anti-social behaviour to dangerous riding on footpaths, parks and public spaces. Tackling the problem relies heavily on information from local residents, so if you're aware of any bikes causing problems in your area, please reply to this message and let us know.

Even small details can make a big difference – descriptions of the bike, where and when it's being used, and any photographs or videos (where safe to obtain) can all help us build a clearer picture and take positive action.

If you'd like to discuss any concerns in person, I'll be at Shipbourne Farmers Market on 9 July 2026 and would be happy to speak with you.

🚨 In an emergency, always dial 999.

📱 For non-emergency matters, please report via the Kent Police website.

Thank you for your continued support in helping to keep our communities safe.
