Over 100 people had to be rescued from flooding in Derbyshire on Friday and flood waters are still expected to rise in some parts of the county.
Emergency crews have had to rescue 20 people from a care home in Derbyshire as cars were submerged in flood water in the county, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue have said.
It comes as Labour MP Toby Perkins said some 400 homes in his Chesterfield constituency have been deluged.The water may be fast flowing or be hiding dangers such as street furniture, drains and drain covers that may have lifted in the flood.Mr Stanbrook told BBC Breakfast: “We rescued over 100 people yesterday. For example, just on one road in Chesterfield in the north of the county, we rescued 60 people when that became up to the top of cars and several HGVs were stuck as well.
“But on the road there is still going to be silt, there is still going to be debris that is going to cause real, real danger to anybody travelling at the moment – no matter what you’re travelling in.“Please be careful of riverbanks and canal banks. They are going to be soft.
