Fire crews responded to a call from an elderly resident whose bedroom had flooded due to a burst pipe at her house on London Road.

The crew from Macclesfield attended the property at the Lyme Green Settlement at 4am to isolate the water supply and do a temporary repair on the pipe in the loft.

A spokesman said: "We would not usually respond to a call about a burst pipe, but this was an elderly resident and we were able to fix the pipe until she can call a plumber."
