One thousand metres of temporary pumps and pipes diverting sewage around the damaged river wall at Bridgwater's West Quay have been removed in time for the town's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The steel pipe and fencing were installed as an emergency measure last November - when residents and businesses had to be evacuated after heavy rain and flooding caused the wall to collapse.

Somerset County Council says the entire one-point-five million pound repair project is on schedule to be completed by the end of September.
