Welsh residents displaced by sinkhole fear they may not return by Christmas

Further cracks appear in street as hole that opened up in village in Merthyr Tydfil continues to expand

People who have been evacuated from homes perched precariously close to a large - and growing - sinkhole in south Wales that appeared in the wake of Storm Bert fear they may not get back by Christmas.

The sinkhole opened up in a cul-de-sac in the village of Pant, Merthyr Tydfil after the collapse of a culvert, a structure that allows water to flow under roads and railways, and led to residents from 29 homes being told to flee.
