Dear Resident, As we welcome the New Year, let’s make sure celebrations are safe for everyone. Please keep these important safety tips in mind: Don’t Drink or Drug Drive
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs puts lives at risk. If you’re drinking, arrange a taxi, use public transport, or designate a sober driver. Remember, even the morning after, you could still be over the limit. Beware of Drink Spiking
Sadly, drink spiking can happen in busy venues. Protect yourself and friends by: Never leaving drinks unattended.Avoid accepting drinks from strangers.If you feel unwell or unusually intoxicated, seek help immediately and tell staff or call 999. Plan Ahead
Know how you’re getting home before you go out. Keep your phone charged and share your plans with someone you trust. Look Out for Each Other
Stay with your group, check in on friends, and report any suspicious behaviour to venue staff or police. Let’s start 2026 safely and responsibly. From Kent Police, we wish you a Happy New Year!
