Floods In Skewen From Mine Workings
Skewen flood victims face ‘months’ before returning homeFloods In Skewen
People whose homes were flooded after a “blow out” at a mine shaft are said to be “devastated” as they face months before they can return home.
Steve Morris said his son Gareth and his girlfriend’s home in Skewen, Neath Port Talbot, was inundated by “orange” flood water containing sewage.
Eighty people were evacuated on Thursday and residents were urged to stay away due to safety fears.
The Coal Authority said it hopes to provide an update on Monday or Tuesday.
Mr Morris told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast that his son called him on Thursday to say his house was about to be flooded.
