<TEXT>Residents of a Bridgwater street have spent another night away from their homes after a wall collapsed into the River Parrett.

It happened on Friday evening along West Quay - and Sedgemoor District Council says 'the site is still deemed as unsafe', and there's no 'quick fix solution'.

They say residents and business owners have been allowed to return to collect essential possessions - but the buildings are not 'safe enough to allow people to move back in'.
