Merthyr Tydfil: Work ongoing to stabilise expanding sinkhole

Work to stabilise the expanding sinkhole in Merthyr Tydfil is ongoing as Wales prepares itself for a weekend of storms.

Cranes have been brought in to stabilise the chasm on Nant Morlais in Pant, Merthyr Tydfil, which emerged on Sunday.

It has now grown to about 17ft (5.2m) wide and is believed to be as deep as 50ft (15.2m).

Footage from drones flying over the street show the Nant Morlais stream flowing through the gap.

There were plans to return evacuated residents to their homes today but that has now been put on hold.
