North West warned to brace for more flooding

Heavy downpours have brought flooding and scenes of "complete chaos" to parts of the North West.

A wall around Toddbrook Reservoir in High Peak, Derbyshire, has been damaged and an emergency evacuation is underway.

The Environment Agency has issued a severe flood warning.

A major incident was declared late on Wednesday in Poynton, Cheshire, due to “severe flooding”.

Elsewhere people have been urged not to ignore "road closed" signs - as even when the water subsides routes with damaged tarmac can still be dangerous.
