Next time you're waiting for a bus in Gravesend town centre, the writing really could be on the wall.

North Kent Police is aiming to get its messages across to residents - by beaming them onto the side of a former bingo hall.

People waiting at the Fastrack stop, in Garrick Street, can now read about criminals' convictions and what is being done to address community concerns.

They can also find out how to contact their neighbourhood policing team from the presentation, which runs from 4pm to 11pm every day.

The slideshow presentation has been projected onto the old Gala Bingo building since last week.

Supported by Gravesham council and Tesco, whose New Road store is opposite the site, it is the brainchild of Ch Insp Philip Painter.

He said: "This screen will be seen by thousands of people each day and is a great way to give information to people about how the council and police work together.

"It's a great tool for getting our message out there with up-to-date and relevant information."
