Preparations are being made to move the unexploded World War Two bomb which was found in Bath on Thursday.

Bomb squad experts are building a sand barrier before they move the device to a safe location, then carry out an controlled explosion.

Fran Macadam Tweeted this image of one of the lorries carrying sand to the site.

Glyn, who lives near to where the bomb was found in Bath, tells the BBC he isn't worried about the situation.

He lives close by and has not left his home.

"The bomb's been there for 70 years. It was under a school playground," he says.

"Now it's been exposed I'd suggest it's probably less dangerous than it was at any point in the past 70 years. There are people around that know what is going on.

"We're about 150 yards away from where the said bomb is. I've lived here long enough with that bomb. If it was going to go off, it would have gone off."

Inevitably the exclusion zone in place around Lansdown Hill and Landsown Crescent is going to have a major impact on you if you're driving into Bath this morning.

BBC Radio Bristol's Richard Purvis says one of the sites people were taken to, Bath Racecourse, is not as glamorous as it sounds.

"I'm by the finishing post at Bath Racecouse. A handful of people didn't expect to finish up here last night but they certainly did," he says.

"They're in the three-storey executive suite building which overlooks the home straight.

"It sounds quite glamorous but really it's not the kind of place you want to be if you're not expecting to be.

"There's some dried-up coffee in cups up there, empty biscuit wrappers and there's a couple of people trying to get some sleep. They're stretched out on some chairs."

• A 300-metre exclusion zone remains in place around the site
• The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team is building a sand barrier around the device before they remove it
• They are planning to take it to a safe location away from Bath where they will carry out a controlled explosion
• Police say some residents have stayed inside the cordon but if they leave, they will not be able to return
• Commuters are being warned of "significant" delays in Bath with the Lansdown Park and Ride also closed

The cordon around an unexploded World War Two bomb could stay in place for up to 48 hours, Avon and Somerset Police is warning.

A 300-metre exclusion zone remains in place around the Bath site this morning as efforts to remove the device continue.

Hundreds of people in Bath were evacuated from their homes last night after the discovery of what is believed to be an unexploded World War Two bomb. 

Police told residents in the area around Lansdown Hill and Lansdown Crescent to leave their homes after builders found the bomb while working at the former Royal High School site. 

Some evacuees went to stay at Bath Racecourse, other spent the night with friends.
