A road is blocked in Margate due to a tree coming down in today’s strong winds.
Kent Highways is aware of the incident in Northdown Park Road. Highways workers have had to attend a number of incidents today (February 26).
A Kent Highways spokesperson said: “Our highway steward has attended the site this morning and installed cones and tape.
