“Having seen some shocking images on Monday night of flash flooding in Ystradgynlais, I thought it was important that I saw the damage for myself and spoke to residents about their concerns.
“With more heavy rain forecast for this week, residents are concerned this may happen again. We must do more to prevent a reoccurrence of this flooding in the future.
