A police chief who has been at the forefront of a near disaster in a Derbyshire town has said some residents who refused to leave their homes had put lives at serious risk.
About 400 mainly local people packed a school hall to discuss the damaged dam in Whaley Bridge which is still at risk of collapse.
Those who were evacuated from their homes were told on Sunday they would no longer be able to return to collect vital items. More than 1,500 residents were initially told by emergency services they would be allowed to briefly return home on Sunday to collect any necessary items, pets and medication they had left behind.
