Part of a leisure centre car park will be shut for more than a month while maintenance works take place.

Fairfield Leisure in Dartford has warned its customers of disruption to a “large number” of its car parking spaces from Monday, July 22.

The facility, in Lowfield Street, is home to a gym, sports halls and a swimming pool.

It offers family fun sessions, aqua classes, swimming clubs and workout classes.

People living in the area have raised concerns over the timing of the closure, as it will last for most of the school holidays.

Works will be taking place in the car park until Friday, August 23.

A spokesperson for Fairfield said: “Where possible we would recommend car sharing, alternative ways of travel and allowing extra time to your journey.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.”
