Kent Police and Crime Commissioner's Annual Policing Survey - Have Your Say


An invitation to take part in the PCC’s Annual Policing Survey

As Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Scott sets the strategic priorities for Kent Police.

The plan is kept under constant review and is regularly updated in line with what local communities want.

Mr Scott wants to know what matters most to you, so we are requesting that you please take a few minutes to fill out our short survey and that you encourage your friends, family and colleagues to complete it as well. The survey can be completed online here, and is available in numerous languages simply by clicking the ‘Select Language’ button on the website.

You do not need to provide your name or any contact details if you do not wish to.

If you would prefer the survey in a paper format, we can post copies out to you. Simply email us at contactyourpcc@pcc.kent.pnn.police.uk or call 01622 677055. Please also get in touch if you require the survey in any other format.

This is your opportunity to make a real difference and have your say on what Kent Police’s priorities should be. However, please remember that the Safer in Kent Plan only sets the strategic priorities for Kent Police - it cannot amend or change the way officers are deployed or the way operational decisions are made. These are matters for the Chief Constable to determine. The PCC's job is to hold the Chief Constable to account for the delivery of the plan and its strategic objectives on your behalf.

Thank you in advance to those who complete the survey. A summary of the responses we receive will be published on the PCC’s website when the Safer in Kent Plan is next updated.

Office of the Kent Police & Crime Commissioner,
Kent Police Headquarters, Sutton Road, Maidstone, Kent ME15 9BZ

UpARA New Age Kurling


New Age Kurling

We have been playing this from almost when we first formed UpARA, and it has proven to be very popular. Whilst it is a game of skill it is well suited to those of us who are less athletic than we once were.


We are now inviting guests to our sessions to try this activity out in the village hall. £3.00 each session.

Friday 28th July @ 2:00pm 
Monday 7th August @ 2:00pm

David Powell - Chairman
