A town centre road will remain closed to traffic for most of this week.

Vinters Road in Maidstone has been closed as UK Power Networks installs a new electricity supply.

The road, just off Sittingbourne Road, was closed on Monday morning and will remain shut until Friday.

A UK Power Networks spokesperson said: "UK Power Networks is installing underground cables to provide a new electricity connection for a customer in Vinters Road, Maidstone, between April 9 and 13.

"The work was timed during the school holiday to minimise traffic impact. The road closure is needed to help ensure safety of our workers and the public, and a diversion route will be in place.

"We will complete the project as quickly as possible and we apologise for any inconvenience caused."
