Faversham Town Council have commenced services on the new Hopper Community Bus Service.

The Council undertook a 'Transport Needs' Survey during December 2022 and January 2023 and the survey highlighted the need for transport within Faversham and its immediate locality for access to vital services.  It also found a need from some outlying villages, which had no bus service and where residents identified Faversham as their service centre.

Dozens of Kent Police officers, PCSOs and council wardens joined forces for a special day of action to prevent and detect crime in the rural areas around Sittingbourne recently.

In the latest of Kent Police's 'Operation Nonagon' initiatives, Police and Kent County Council staff patrolled Faversham and many of the surrounding villages. In the course of their duties on Wednesday 23rd July the team apprehended suspected burglars, seized suspected stolen property and issued crime prevention advice to local residents.
