Storm Christoph: Parts of Skewen underwater after flooding

Hundreds of people have had to leave their homes after flooding which is thought to be related to mine works.

Emergency services were called to Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, at about 12:30 GMT on Thursday after the village was hit by flooding.

More than 30 residents of a care home are among those being moved from their homes.

Emergency services remain at the scene while the Coal Authority said it is also investigating what has happened.
