Chatham, Folkestone, Sittingbourne, and Sheerness are the latest towns in Kent set to benefit from the “Safer Streets” program, an initiative aimed at reducing crime and antisocial behaviour while promoting community safety. The funding will also address violence against women and girls, support local businesses, establish neighbourhood watch groups, and enhance local parks.

This significant investment in crime reduction and community well-being comes as a collaborative effort between local authorities, Kent Police, and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC). The program, which will run from October 2023 to March 2025, builds upon previous successful implementations in Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Canterbury, Ashford, Maidstone, Gravesend, and Ramsgate.
