Network Rail has unblocked a number of nesting sites for swifts along a railway viaduct in Derbyshire after pressure from campaigners.

Protect the Wild had accused the body that owns, operates, maintains and develops Britain's railways of having "deliberately sealed" the nesting sites during the £7.5m refurbishment of the 160-year-old twin viaducts at Chapel Milton, near Chapel-en-le-Frith.

Work to reopen the holes was completed over the weekend after High Peak Borough Council confirmed it did not need special permission to carry it out.
