At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

  • Gravesham Community Safety Strategy Draft , Item 82. PDF 402 KB
    Gravesham Community Safety Strategy 2021-24 DRAFT Foreword As the Chair of Gravesham’s Community Safety Partnership, I am very pleased to introduce this Community Safety Strategy 2021-24 on behalf of both all the Partnership’s statutory partners and the range of other agencies and organisations who work collaboratively to make Gravesham a safer place. This Strategy carries particular importance for us as it is the first created by our new Partnership, established in October 2020 and that is dedicated to our Borough. This approach will enable us to better understand those issues that are impacting quality of life in our neighbourhoods and to drive forward our co-ordinated activity on tackling priorities at a much more local level. Having our own Partnership means that we will be able to ensure that time and effort is spent on reducing the types of crime and disorder that are most important to local people and the communities we serve. Although we have already achieved much through partnership working, we know that we still face challenges in Gravesham. We know that alongside prosperous areas of the Borough there are pockets of deprivation in which families suffer crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) disproportionately. We also know that there are additional risks faced by vulnerable people to whom we have a duty of care in safeguarding them against the activity of perpetrators who seek to take advantage. Whilst our Borough’s geographical position and its proximity and ease of access to London is a positive feature, it also means that we are seen as an attractive location for cross-border criminals who will travel to commit crime locally.
