Fire crews are still battling a wildfire at the side of the A465 between Abergavenny and Tredegar.

The latest news coming from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is that the blaze is under control, but firefighters have not yet been stood down.

In a statement online, a spokesperson said, “We remain in attendance at a wildfire adjacent to the A465 between Tredegar and Abergavenny.”
