Downstream

and Recover divers remove
hazardous materials by
Whitchurch Bridge. In
previous years divers had
pulled out shopping trolleys,
motorbikes, fridges, TVs,
scooters, scaffolding and
traffic cones, some firmly
stuck in the riverbed. One
year only a small sample of
objects was recovered, partly
because the diver was
becoming entangled in a
discarded fishing line.
