'Unsightly' boats removed from River Thames

Abandoned and sunken boats along a stretch of the River Thames are being removed.

The Environment Agency (EA) has cleared more than 20 boats near Sunbury as part of Operation Riverside.

Maria Herlihy, waterways manager and harbourmaster for the River Thames at the EA, said the boats were "unsightly", not registered and could cause a danger on the river.
