Investigations are continuing into the cause of an explosion in Ashford.

Fire and police services are still at the scene in Mill View, Willesborough, following the devastating blast on Tuesday.

Seven people were injured, with two people airlifted to a London hospital.

They remain there in what police describe as a serious condition.

The explosion was in a terraced house which is one of a row of four. That house was destroyed, while at least two others were severely damaged.

Work is continuing in and around the scene as debris is removed to allow for inspection work inside the property.

Forensic teams have also been spotted working among the debris and using a height vehicle to take pictures of the damage from the air.

Gas teams have also excavated holes in the area to access pipes below the ground.

A Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman confirmed today that the cause remains unknown but is not being treated as suspicious.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Ashford Borough Council (ABC) had said "all the relevant safety certificates for the properties are fully up to date".

ABC leader Gerry Clarkson visited the site yesterday and told a KentOnline reporter that it was likely that all four homes in the affected block would have to be demolished.

The Willesborough community has continued to rally around the affected families, with many making generous donations of clothes and other supplies.

A fundraising page set up by a facebook group has now raised more than £7,500 for the victims.
