A four-year-old girl has been left terrified after she fell down an unsecure "eight to 10 feet" deep drain at a pub garden. Jorgiie Evans had been playing in the park at Brewers Lodge pub in Blackwood when she fell into the hole on Friday, May 27.
Her worried mother Gemma Evans said since the incident her daughter has been left phobic of drains and holes in the ground. A spokesman for the pub said Welsh Water had carried work out on the drain on March 4, leaving it unsecure without their knowledge.
However, Welsh Water said its team secured the cover correctly following the completion of this work and "it is not clear" what caused the manhole cover to become loose.
