A WORKER belonging to a contracting team was injured this week as he was sawing trees by the canal in Devizes.

He was working on the Kennet & Avon Canal near the locks of Caen Hill Flight, when he injured his leg, and  had to be airlifted to hospital.

The air ambulance was called to the scene as there was no road nearby, and he was flown to hospital but released later the same day.
