The inbound road to Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre on Sharsted Way was today blocked by a fallen tree.

A driver moving in the opposite direction called the obstruction 'just passable'.

The road way closed whilst work was taken to clear the blockage.

Reports have also shown that a second tree has fallen in the area, on Hempstead Valley Drive.

Robert Andrew Williams, 22, who lives in Mulberry Close, said that it is causing massive queues because the close is the only place to turn around.

Police have now confirmed that Sharsted way has been reopened.

Medway Council have also confirmed that both roads are now clear and open as usual.
