A hole has opened on a busy road in Tunbridge Wells.

The problem is on Upper Grosvenor Road at the junction for Dunstan Road, where a representative for KCC and Kent Police have attended.

It is reported that the ongoing situation is the result of a collapsed sewer underneath the carriageway.

A KCC spokesperson said investigations are ongoing to determine the necessary requirements for repairs.

A Kent Police spokesperson confirmed that officers have placed a cordon round the hole and the area is currently being inspected by other local authorities.

Traffic is expected to be disrupted, and motorists are advised to approach with caution - using an alternative route if they can.
