Durham County Council is having the horse removed
A DEAD horse will be removed from the River Wear in Durham tomorrow. (Wednesday, February 5)
The black and white animal is currently in the water between Prebends Bridge and Framwelgate Bridge in the city centre.
It has been reported to Durham Police and Durham County Council and plans to remove it have been made.
Jimmy Bennett, from Durham County Council, said the authority was working with the Environment Agency.
He said: “We are looking to remove the horse as quickly as possible.
“Unfortunately, due to its position a boat and a hoist are necessary for its removal and the soonest we can arrange for this to happen is tomorrow morning.”
