A petrol station next to a busy retail park has reopened after maintenance work was carried out.

The Sainsbury’s forecourt in Quarry Wood Industrial Estate, Aylesford, was closed for a month.

It shut on Monday, January 29 and has reopened to customers today (March 1).

The petrol station is on the same site as South Aylesford Retail Park, which is home to Nando’s, Halfords and M&S.

Pictures of the site during the closure showed a large amount of scaffolding surrounding the building.

One customer said they were told by a member of staff that workers were replacing the canopy.

The main store was open as normal during this time.

A Sainsbury’s spokeswoman previously apologised for the inconvenience the closure may cause.

“The petrol station at our Larkfield superstore has now reopened,” she said.

“We would like to thank our customers for their patience and look forward to welcoming them back again soon.”
