AN elderly man had to be rescued after he became stuck on his flat roof.
The 91-year-old had climbed onto the roof to remove some leaves and the ladder had fallen away.
A rescue tender from Taunton was summoned to provide a platform to get him down from the property in Church Street, Winsham, shortly after 8am this morning (Sunday, May 29).
The man was removed from the roof using a long board and man power.
An ambulance attended the scene but the man was not taken to hospital.
