A BIG pile of debris pulled from the water after the floods sits by the river - but there us confusion over who should remove it.

Large branches and tree trunks form the majority of the mountain of debris on the banks of the River Severn at Diglis.

But it seems it will not be removed anytime soon as three organisations each say the other is responsible for taking it away.

Worcestershire County Council said the removal of the debris is the responsibility of the Canal and River Trust, but the Trust said the Environment Agency would be taking it away.

However, the Environment Agency has since told the Worcester News that it should be the responsibility of the Canal and River Trust.

The pile is cordoned off with red traffic cones across parking bays used by the Canal and Rivers Trust.

Earlier this week, a crane on a boat was seen pulling up tree trunks, branches and other detritus out of the water. 

Similar work has been carried out at Worcester Bridge.

River levels were higher than average across the county and the Environment Agency issued several flood warnings in the area in January.

Water levels have now returned to normal across the region.

We have contacted the Canal and River Trust for further comment.
