A huge sinkhole which caused homes in south Wales to be evacuated is “frightening”, locals have said as the hole continues to grow.

The collapse of a culvert – a structure that allows water to flow under roads and railways – led to the evacuation of around 30 homes at Nant Morlais in Pant, Merthyr Tydfil, on Sunday.
