TORRENTIAL rain brought down part of the roof at a Newport fast food restaurant Thursday.

Three-year-old Kelsey Acerman and her mum Gemma were directly underneath the ceiling of the McDonalds on Old Chepstow Road, Coldra, when it started to collapse at around 3pm.

The store closed immediately to clear the debris and repair the ceiling, but is due to reopen later.

Downpours in Newport this afternoon also meant McDonalds in Spytty had to shut for around two hours after drainage failed and the ceiling started to leak.

Full story in tomorrow's Argus.
