Monmouthshire escapes floods after rain band passes

Heavy rain on Friday created plenty of mud at the Green Man Festival in Powys, close to the Monmouthshire border

The Environment Agency says the risk of surface water flood problems in Monmouthshire has passed after earlier issuing a warning for Sunday afternoon.

There had been fears of heavy rain in some parts of the county.

But officials said the band of rain had passed, and there had not been the anticipated problems.

On Friday rain caused problems in parts of Wales, and in one incident a mother and child were rescued from a car in Swansea.
