Two coffee shops at a Kent railway station have closed.

It comes as footfall drops at the sites following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Staff at Starbucks and the Pumpkin Cafe at Chatham Railway Station in Railway Street have been made redundant as they close their doors.

It is not known whether the stores will close permanently as discussions are ongoing between the Department for Transport, through the Rail Delivery Group, and owners the SSP Group about a solution which would provide some tenants who are struggling to pay rent a form of relief.

Talks have not been finalised but are "making progress".

It adds to the list of other sites in the town to close down this year, including Go Outdoors at The Brook earlier this month, Gala Bingo in the high street in July and Debenham's at the turn of the year.
