The people of Whaley Bridge and surrounding areas have been assured that appropriate measures are in place for the heavy rainfall expected this weekend.

Predicted forecasts for the High Peak area this weekend from the Met Office are that an amber warning is in place and localised flooding could be expected.

The Canal and River Trust are monitoring the water levels in Toddbrook Reservoir and if the water reaches a level of concern the residents in the evacuation zone will be the first to know.

Derbyshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Rachel Swann said: “The ongoing multi-agency work means that we are in a much better position to react to any risks from the dam and any rainfall that may cause local flooding.”
