An access road for a primary school has been shut ahead of the return of pupils due to flytipping.

School Lane in Swanley has been closed for up to a week to clear the dumped waste.

The narrow country lane was shut today to allow Kent County Council's highways team to access the route between Lower Road and Highlands Hill.

Road users are being advised to find alternate routes where possible.
