Barn fire causes road closures

TRAFFIC through Downe is expected to be disrupted throughout the day because of a barn fire.

The blaze started at around 9pm last night (May 21) in a hay barn at Hang Grove Farm, Cudham Road, and is still ongoing.

No other buildings are believed to be at risk of catching fire.

Crews from Biggin Hill, Orpington and Bromley managed to get the fire under control by 6am and a fire investigation unit is now on the scene.

Cudham Road is completely closed from the junction of High Elms Road and Hangrove Hill and Downe Road are also shut.
