Buses are set to begin stopping at the Sainsbury's in Broomfield, it has been revealed.

The number 6 will start travelling to and from the superstore every half an hour this Sunday.

The change will allow passengers journeying from Greenhill, Herne Bay, Sturry and Herne to be whisked to the recently opened supermarket.

Matthew Arnold, from the bus operator Stagecoach, said: "We're pleased we can now provide Altira Park with a regular bus service.

"This will offer a convenient connection for people who want to use the new superstore."

On Sundays and bank holidays, Triangle buses will stop at the Sainsbury's every hour.

Stagecoach also says it is hoping to divert more routes to Altira Business Park.

Heather Bennett, the manager of the Herne Bay store, said: "We're delighted that buses will now be making it even easier for customers to shop at our store."
