South Wales police took over from residents, directing motorists around the big hole, which was then manned by Welsh Water, who have said they will be repairing the damage over the next few days.
Edwards Coaches have assured customers in Efail Isaf the number 90 service will be running as normally as possible. “Efail Isaf customers will be able to use the new bus stop at the bottom of Station Road and the bus will travel down the Church Village Bypass towards Crown Hill,” the spokesperson said.
Resident and journalist, Jonathan Bishop was at the scene the prior to South Wales Police taking over. “Residents and motorists helped each other and others travelling through the village,” he said. “South Wales Police then updated residents and advised some to move out of the way of damage their cars,” he said. “None of the elected councillors were available, so I was really grateful for South Wales Police responding to the situation, after what was a long day.“
