Homes have been evacuated following a suspected chemical leak.

Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service attended a reported water leak at Tudor House off Lynn Crescent in Bracknell, Berkshire, at 05:30 BST.

But after inspecting the water leak, suspected chemicals were found in the building.

Thames Valley Police said as a precaution residents were moved out while the Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) assessed what the chemicals are.

The RLC was expected to remain on site until 18:00 BST.

Bracknell Leisure Centre in Bagshot Road has been set up as a rest centre for those people who have had to leave their homes.
