A Royal Air Force Chinook has been drafted into Whaley Bridge in efforts to stop a reservoir collapsing after it was "badly" damaged during heavy rain.

Hundreds of residents have spent the night away from their homes due to "an unprecedented, fast-moving, emergency situation" caused by heavy downpours.

Toddbrook Reservoir - which contains around 1.3 million tonnes of water - has seen "extensive" damage during the flooding and images appear to show a huge hole in the dam wall.

The helicopter was sent from RAF Odiham in Hampshire to assist at the Reservoir, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said.

He added: "It will drop one-ton bags of aggregate - a mixture of sand, gravel and stone - into Todd Brook.

"This is intended to stem the flow of water into the reservoir."
