A large sinkhole that forced more than 30 homes to be evacuated is still growing, a council leader has said.
The void emerged on Nant Morlais in Pant, Merthyr Tydfil, on Sunday morning and council leader Brent Carter said on Monday that “more cracks are coming across the road and into walls and gardens”.
He estimated the hole was “probably 30-40ft (9-12m) deep and five metres (16ft) wide”.
Simon Williams, whose family owns the bungalow where the sinkhole appeared, said it could be months until residents of the cul-de-sac could return home and he felt “desperately sorry for all the residents who’ve had to get out of their homes just before Christmas”.
