A large sinkhole in Pant, Merthyr Tydfil, has forced the evacuation of over 30 homes, with residents facing uncertainty about their return. Council leader Brent Carter reported the sinkhole, estimated to be 30-40ft deep, is still growing. The area has experienced cracks in roads and gardens following heavy rains from Storm Bert, raising concerns for residents’ safety. Repairs will involve stabilizing the site and addressing the damaged culvert. The incident has highlighted the vulnerability of the community to such natural disasters as Christmas approaches.
