Eight schools in Cardiff have closed because large parts of the city have been left without water.

Welsh Water said teams were dealing with a burst water main in the Llanedeyrn area on Monday morning.

Local councillor, Keith Jones, said that Glan Yr Afon and Bryn Hafod primary schools were also shut because of a lack of working toilets, heating, hygiene and catering facilities.

Cardiff Council confirmed that St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Bryn Celyn Primary, Hollies, Pen Y Groes, and Berllan Deg also closed.
