Huge propeller blades for a wind farm being built on the Romney Marsh are being transported across the county for 13 days - and police are warning of traffic delays.

Seventy-eight abnormally long vehicles will be escorted by police from Chatham Docks. The first three loads left at around 10.30am Monday. Motorists are urged to check traffic reports before setting off.

Each movement of blades will involve a maximum of three vehicles and no loads will be transported at weekends.

Police say six motorcyles and one car will escort each movement.
