An inflatable sports dome in Cardiff has been destroyed by Storm Eunice.

The dome at the Cardiff International Sports Campus in the Leckwith area of the city has collapsed and has been caught on film flapping in the wind.

The air dome, which was opened in 2017, is similar to those in use at Chelsea and Ajax football clubs.

Cardiff City House of Sport, which is affiliated to Cardiff City FC, said:

"Unfortunately due to damage sustained by Storm Eunice, the air dome at the Cardiff International Sports Campus is completely out of action for the foreseeable future.

"All bookings were cancelled today, and nobody was in the vicinity of the dome when the damage occurred."

South Wales Police are asking people to avoid the area. And they are asking people to steer clear of Hemingway Road, Butetown over concern of a roof about to come off a building.
