HEAVY rain caused a retaining wall to collapse in Llangunnor and saw fencing and soil to pile onto the road leading to the primary school on Christmas Eve.
Penymorfa Lane remains closed to traffic as some garden sheds hang off the edge of the collapsed back over the road below.
Local councillor Robin Griffiths said: "There was quite a mess there and the road is still closed. I don't know what is happening.
"Children are back in school on Monday (January 6) so hopefully it can be cleared by then, otherwise how will they be dropped off?"
Llangunnor resident Arwel Fowler said: "On Christmas Eve at around 1.30am, probably as a consequence of the heavy and continual rain a retaining wall some 30ft in length and at least 10ft in height collapsed in Penymorfa Lane in Llangunnor.
"Thankfully no one was injured but the retaining wall collapsed onto the highway and Penymorfa Lane had to be closed to traffic. It was still closed on Boxing Day.
"This is the lane that leads to Llangunnor School and a number of properties were affected which left the garden sheds hanging over the edge."

Accident killed 2
OSHA is investigating the wall collapse on Dec. 2 in Maybrook that killed Scott Winkler of Monroe, a married father of five, and Timothy Lang of Saugerties. A third man, Rafael Zakota of Queens, survived the accident.Jim Sabastian/For the Times Herald-Record
Published: 2:00 AM - 12/26/13
The widow of one of the two men killed when a retaining wall on a construction site in Maybrook collapsed Dec. 2 has filed a $40 million notice of claim against New York City and the city's Department of Environmental Protection.
The claim was filed on behalf of Doreen Winkler, whose husband, Scott Winkler, 50, died eight days after the collapse.
A claim, which had to be filed within 90 days of the accident, preserves the right to file a lawsuit later.
Winkler, of Monroe, was an employee of Precision Concrete Pumping of Albany. He was part of a crew working on a mock-up of an aqueduct project for the DEP when a concrete retaining wall collapsed.
The accident happened on property off Homestead Avenue owned by one of the general contractors, Halmar International Inc.
One worker, Timothy Lang, 53, of Saugerties, also employed by Precision, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was trapped under the collapsed wall for a considerable amount of time.
Winkler and another injured worker, Rafael Zakota, 37, of the Glendale section of Queens, were rescued relatively quickly and taken to hospitals. Winkler was flown to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, while Zakota was taken to Orange Regional Medical Center in the Town of Wallkill.

In addition to his wife, Winkler is survived by five children.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident to determine whether any workplace safety standards were violated.
The mockup, or replica, was being built to practice techniques for work on a planned interconnection of the DEPs Catskill and Delaware aqueducts in Gardiner.
