A Costa Coffee shop was closed today after firefighters had to remove dangerous loose panels.

A responder car was called to the store at Royal Spa Retail Park, Dowding Way, Tunbridge Wells.

The crewman assessed the damage and cordoned off the building before calling a crew to help make it safe just after 2pm.

Large panels had come loose, believed to have been dislodged by the wind.

Firefighters spent nearly two hours ensuring the damaged building did not pose a danger to the public.

The shop, normally open from 7am to 7pm, has been closed while the damage is repaired.
