To report fly tipping on a Public Rights of Way please ring Kent County Council on 03000 417 373. If you can, try and take a note of the pathway number.

Parking - Report bad parking

Problem parking that is causing a hazard i.e. parking that is blocking or overhanging a junction should be reported to the Police using the non-emergency number 101 or you can report it online to the Police. It can only be dealt with if they see it in real time so you cannot send pictures.

Persistent nuisance parking that is causing issues should be reported to the Parish Council. It will then be discussed at a meeting (which you could attend) and a decision made as to whether the Parish Council can put any measures in place to alleviate the problem.
