Home Office
criticisedDartford Council have acknowledged being
among one of sixteen areas selected for special
action against anti-social behaviour but told the
Home Office they want real action not spin.
Leader Jeremy Kite said “ “We have been
telling government for some time that AntiSocial behaviour is a major problem here and
urging them to take a more robust line.
We
welcome today’s announcement but want to
see the detail.
We have been made promises
like this before only to find that the end result
is nowhere near as tough as the press-release
suggests.
Ministers have a habit of saying they
are tough on crime but then spend fortunes offering useless ‘touchy-feely’ initiatives that
criminals just laugh at.
At first glance, the announcement seems long on ’publicity’ and
short on enforcement but we will keep an
open mind.
Residents want to see action and
Police Officers need proper resources, freedom to get on with their jobs and the knowledge that the courts and authorities are going
to back them up with appropriate sentencing.

Electricity had still not been restored
to about 1,000 homes in south-east
London and Kent as a power cut
entered its fourth day, EDF Energy
says.
About 94,000 homes were re-connected to the
grid on the morning of August 16th after the
attempted theft of cables led to the problem.
Dartford, Crayford, Erith, Bexleyheath and
Orpington will lost power again for a time when
a new cable is attached.
EDF Energy said "small pockets" which remain
cut saw power restored later as the network
returned to normal.
The company also warned that homes in the
region will experience 20 minute interruptions
over the coming days as the grid stabilises.
Essential purposes only
Since the power cut began last Monday
afternoon, most areas received electricity for
three hours-a-day on rotation from mobile
generators, but as many as 10,000 homes could
not be brought into the loop, the company said.
A statement from EDF Energy said: "There may
be small pockets of people still experiencing
some interruption as we return the network to
normal operation.
"Customers should also check their property s
trip switches.
Temporary generators used by
customers can also be disconnected.
"
People who are being removed from mobile
generators and reconnected to the network may
also be among those who remain cut off from
the grid.
Earlier Bob Lane, EDF Energy s director of
network operations, said: "This was a major
incident that required a complex and difficult
solution.
"We have worked round the clock as quickly as
was safely possible and apologise for the
inconvenience this incident has caused.
"
More than 340 people were involved in the
response to the power cut, while the biggest ever
deployment of mobile generators in London s
history provided temporary supply.
Police are investigating the fire damage to power
cables on a bridge in Dartford.
Mr Lane added: "We will continue to work over
the next few days to return the network fully to
normal operation.
"During this period we would ask people to
continue to use power for essential purposes
only.
"
The company has said it is considering
compensation for affected homes.
But they are only forced to pay out to homes
without power for stretches of 18 hours at a
time.
The company has asked people who are still to
receive power supply to contact it on 0800 783
8866.
