Dozens of abandoned shopping trolleys have to be hauled out of the River Thames every year and hundreds of them are removed from our towns and cities. However now a council in Berkshire believes it has the solution to the problem.

Councillors in Reading are due to vote tonight on plans to charge supermarkets a fee of £15 for each abandoned trolley recovered by its staff. Kate Cooney reports.
