Drone captures scale of Storm Dennis damage at Pontypridd Lido
Drone pictures have emerged that shows the full extent of the damage caused by Storm Dennis at Pontypridd Lido.
Pontypridd, home to the National Lido of Wales, was one of the areas worst hit by the storm over the weekend.
The River Taff in Pontypridd reached the highest level in more than 40 years leaving homes, businesses and cars submerged in water.
Since Storm Dennis made its lasting mark on the town the Ynysangharad War Memorial park, which homes the lido, it has been closed to the public.
Now pictures has emerged of it covered in dirty water.
The storm has severely impacted one of the town’s most treasured assets.
Nearby the popular children’s play area looks bruised and battered, and has also been left covered in what resembles the slurry that has poured out of many homes and businesses over the past few days.
The full-extent of the damage has not yet been assessed or confirmed by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council but it’s set to make an announcement in due course.
Ynysangharad War Memorial Park currently remains closed to the public.
