Buses were not stopping at a Kent village this afternoon, due to bad parking blocking access.

Arriva said they were cutting Bearsted out of its route, starting and terminating instead on the A20 Ashford Road a mile away.

The firm tweeted to warn customers of the temporary change, saying it was due to a case of illegal parking.

It is not yet known whether the police have been informed. Bearsted is served by the number 9 and 509 services.
