Retail units at a shopping complex on Sheppey have been evacuated after a wall collapsed.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to Neats Court in Queenborough at about 4.40pm today after the partition came crashing down.

A fire service spokesman said no one was thought to have been injured.

Eyewitness Daisy Lou Campbell said: "I was by the doors with my five-year-old waiting for my other two girls to come with me when there was a big bang.

"My girls screamed and ran to me crying as the stuff was falling off the shelves.

"My girls were shaking so I got them in the car and drove away."

It is not known what caused the wall to collapse.

Fire crews are waiting for a building surveyor to arrive.

Station manager Charlie Smith said: "We were called as a result of signs of movement in the walls at Cancer Research.

"There has been a small collapse. They have taken the appropriate precautions."

The partition wall links the Cancer Research UK building with the GHM! (Guess How Much) store next door.

Cancer Research spokesman Lynn Daly said: "We have heard there has been some storm damage at the shop. We are trying to find out more."
