Emergency services in Greater Manchester have declared a major incident and told people to travel 'only if neccessary' as they deal with the fall-out of widespread 'severe' flooding.

Parts of the region have seen more than 80mm (three inches) of rain fall in the last 24 hours. Rivers have burst their banks with streets becoming submerged and water gushing into homes.
