It's believed to be heading to East Sussex, to a wind farm in Polegate.

Several journeys are being made, with materials for the farm being transported over the next few days.

From the M20, officers from the Sussex Police Roads Policing Unit will escort the materials for the wind farm from Clacket Lane services on the M25, before travelling southbound on the M23 and the A23 and eventually arriving at Polegate.

The other dates include tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, but it's not known which ones will affect Kent.

The parts are being escorted outside of the morning and afternoon rush hours to keep disruption to a minimum, and during daylight hours for safety reasons.
