A charity has pledged to clean-up the waterways of Loughborough after local residents voiced concerns about the number of sinking boats.

The River Soar, which also serves as a canal through the town, has become home to numerous abandoned boats between Bishop Meadow Lock and The Basin.

The Canal and Rivers Trust says it's aware of the stricken vessels and added that it's in the process to get them removed.
