A car dealership in Dartford has become the latest victim of the global economic crisis.

Renault Dartford, in Princes Road, is closed for business while its parent group Renault Retail Group restructures its sites.

The group's managing director, Ian Plummer, said the closure was due to current market conditions being "the most challenging the motor industry has faced in years".

The group has not confirmed how many staff at the dealership will be affected.
