Road closed after gas leak
Comments |
Rush hour delays are expected this afternoon as parts of the A28
remains closed due to a gas leak.
Kent Police closed Chart Road at the junctions with Brookfield
Road and with Bridge End and Templar Way following the leak early
this morning.
Kent Police were called shortly before 3am after the leak was
discovered.
Residents weren't evacuated as a result of the leak - near
the council recycling centre - but roads have been closed
while the leak is repaired.
Police have visited residents within the immediate area to keep
them updated, and Southern Gas workmen are repairing the leak.
A spokesman said work would continue into this evening. The
priority, he said, was to fix the leak before discovering the
cause of the problem. No customers have been affected.
The A28 Chart Road is the main
route into Ashford from Tenterden and the road is heavily used by
traffic trying to get onto the M20 and residents heading for the
town centre.
