The Met Office has issued a warning for ice affecting parts of Kent and East Sussex.

It added the yellow weather warning was expected to be in place on Wednesday from 00:00 GMT until 10:00, and might lead to disruption.

Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Medway, Cranbrook and parts of Canterbury are expected to be impacted in Kent, while East Sussex areas include Crowborough, Robertsbridge and parts of Heathfield.

The Met Office said some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces might occur and there would be a possibility of icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

The Met Office has advised residents to keep safe, plan ahead of their journey and check for delays and road closures before travelling.

It is part of a wider warning for the UK, with a yellow warning in place from Scotland down to the south-east of England.
