"Horrified" residents fear the whole town could be "decimated" within minutes, witness says

Thousands of residents in the Derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge have been evacuated amid fears a dam could collapse after it was damaged by floodwaters.

Concrete panels on one side of the dam on the Toddbrook Resevoir, which holds back 300 million gallons of water, partially collapsed.

By 2.30pm on Thursday it was deemed too unsafe for people in the village below, who were ordered to "evacuate your property now".

There are concerns the village could be levelled if the dam, which dates to 1838, gives way.

Derbyshire Police said 400 tonnes of aggregate will be brought in overnight to divert water from entering the reservoir, with a Chinook helicopter aiding a multi-agency taskforce.
