Residents stacked sandbags and baled out front yards as riverside Sion Street flooded for second time in four years
The River Taff raged through the centre of Pontypridd on Sunday, overflowing its banks and overwhelming homes and businesses.
Sion Street, which runs parallel to the river in the centre of the Valleys town, was flooded with the murky water breaching several terrace properties. Residents desperately tried to empty their front yards of water with plastic buckets, while others frantically stacked sandbags on their doorsteps.
