Radio emission from Seyfert nuclei appears to be intimately related to narrow line region (NLR) of ionised gas. Both regions have an extent of a few hundred parsecs corresponding to typically a few arcsec, and are only marginally resolved by ground based observations. HST and adaptive optics are giving optical images of the ionised gas with angular resolutions of order 0.1″. It is essential that high quality radio images are available with similar resolution so that models relating the two regions can be tested. The extended MERLIN is ideally suited for this task. It has angular resolutions of 0.05″ at 5GHz and 0.13″ at 1.5GHz and sensitivities of a few 10s of μJy. In this contribution we shall summarise the results on two objects.
