Burnham's Chamber of Trade says it's 'in disbelief' after the town was banned from hanging bunting from streetlights for the Diamond Jubilee.

Somerset County Council's turned down the request because of health and safety fears - saying the flags can only be hung from shop fronts, after a case in London where a lamppost with bunting on fell and killed a child.

The Health and Safety Executive says it's 'wholly inappropriate' to link the two things and that hanging bunting 'is a low-risk activity'.
