  • Covid Breaches Linnet Drive Finberry Catapults
    Hello, FEBRUARY REPORT for Washford Farm, Park Farm North, Park Farm South, Kingsnorth, Roman Ward Bridgefield, Mersham, Sevington South and Finberry. In my role as a PCSO I am either on foot or in a Police vehicle, engaging with the community and visiting those who need my help, assistance and reassurance. Well this month has been extremely cold with all the snow that arrived. We are still in lockdown and please remember only to go out for essentials. The weather conditions can mean an increase in road traffic accidents. If you are out and about on foot go carefully as we don’t want any injuries or broken bones. So please stay indoors and stay safe, spring is not far away now. Covid Breaches Police are still getting plenty of reports of people breaking Covid regulations and each report is being dealt with by Officers. This includes small businesses trying to open, as well as gyms and hairdressers. We are giving out more and more Fixed Penalty Notices for anyone not sticking to the Covid regulations. This lockdown is hard on each one of us and we are all being affected in different ways. The more people who keep breaking these regulations and spreading Covid, the longer it is going to take to get out of lockdown. Linnet Drive Finberry There has been an attempted breaking in through the front door in Linnet Drive. No entry was made thankfully, but please stay vigilant and make sure your properties are as secure as you can make them. This includes ensuring you always keep front and back doors locked.
