Justice 4 Fathers protester Guy Harrison has been told to stop deliveries of soil at his fish farm.

For months, fleets of lorries have been dumping tonnes of soil at his Monk Lakes fish farm, Marden, bringing protests from neighbours.

Mr Harrison made national headlines after scaling the Houses of Parliament as part of a high-profile campaign over parental access.

He has denied the land is being used as a tip or landfill site and says the work is being carried out to improve the fishery.

Maidstone council representatives have posted a temporary stop notice and the site and handed a duplicate to Mr Harrison.

The latest move comes after two and a half years of complaints about soil mountains at the 120-acre farm and the large numbers of lorries driving nose to tail along the A229.
