A country lane is impassable after a huge pile of rubbish was fly-tipped.

Emmet Hill Lane in Yalding will be shut for up to seven days for the waste to be cleared.

There are several black bags in the road as well as wood and rubble.

The road was shut on Sunday (March 16) for Kent Highways to carry out clearance and investigation works.

A diversion route is in place via Benover Road, Forge Lane, Jarmons Lane and Claygate Road.

On the same day, the northern slip road between the A225 and Frank’s Lane in Horton Kirby had to be closed due to a similar incident.

A large pile of rubbish also including bin bags and wood was dumped in the road.

KCC has been approached for more information.
