Two streets to be demolished in mining subsidence village
Residents of Dunmoss View, shown here, have been told their homes will be have to be knocked down
Residents of two streets in a Clackmannanshire village facing mining subsidence have been told their homes will have to be demolished, BBC Scotland has learned.
Meetings were held with residents of Coalsnaughton on Thursday evening where 97 properties have been evacuated due to ground movement.
Officials from the local council and the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) told them that 60 houses on two streets, Benbuck View and Dunmoss View, would have to be knocked down.
Remediation work will be carried out on two other affected streets to make them safe, the residents were told.
Homeowners will be offered compensation payments but some of those who attended the meetings told BBC Scotland News there was uncertainty about how much they would receive.
The MRA confirmed that there had been a meeting with people affected by the subsidence, and said it would be releasing a more detailed statement on Friday.
A total of 97 properties in four streets in Coalsnaughton have now been evacuated
Some 256 residents in four streets in the former mining village were moved out of their homes after ground movement was discovered in May.
An eight-week investigation by the MRA confirmed that the issue, which saw cracks appear in roads, paths, and homes, was related to historical mining work.
