A village road is to remain shut all night due to a fallen tree.

Kent County Council has closed Billet Hill in New Ash Green and says it will stay that way until tomorrow.

The lane runs between The Street and Fawkham Green Road.

A spokesman for KCC Highways said: "A large tree is blocking the road.

"It is unsafe to work on in the dark so will be cleared Monday morning."

"Please find alternative routes."

The fallen tree comes after wind battered Kent.

This morning, alternate lanes on the QEII bridge were closed in case vehicles were pushed into each other by strong gusts.
