A MUSEUM will open earlier after residents complained about access.

For a trial period the museum in Market Street, Dartford, will open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 10am and 2pm and 3pm until 5.30pm.

Before the revised timetable the museum, which currently has an exhibition by the borough's Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, was only open between noon and 5.30pm.

On Saturdays the museum will open from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm. Call 01322 224739.
