Thousands of people have been told to leave their homes after heavy rain resulted in severe damage to a dam wall above the Derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge. Read more here:

Dragging a suitcase up the town's deserted high street, Whaley Bridge resident David Holt said of the dam:"If it's going to go, it's going to go straight through the village."

She added:"We are praying holds whilst the Canal and River Trust try to drain the water from the reservoir." "If the whole dam goes, it's going to cause absolute chaos. Probably the village will go, because it goes straight through. The River Goyt goes straight through the village centre." In nearby Wilmslow, police are"dealing with flooding" and had evacuated affected residents, with Oakenclough Children's Centre open as a rest centre.
