Residents affected by ground movement in a former mining village in Clackmannanshire are set to be out of their homes for at least another eight weeks. The news has left many feeling frustrated and anxious, with some describing it as a 'total nightmare.'
The issue, which has been ongoing since January, has seen residents forced to leave their homes due to safety concerns. While the exact cause of the ground movement remains unclear, it is understood that the village's history as a former mining site may be a contributing factor.
The local council has been working closely with residents to find temporary accommodation, with many being relocated to nearby towns and cities. However, the extended period away from home has taken a significant toll on residents, with many struggling to cope with the disruption.
The Met Office has issued various weather warnings for the area, with strong winds and heavy rainfall expected to exacerbate the situation. Residents have been advised to stay indoors and avoid any areas where the ground movement is most pronounced.
As the situation continues to unfold, residents are urging the local council to provide more support and assistance. With the issue expected to last at least eight weeks, many are left wondering when they will finally be able to return home.
Meanwhile, the local council has announced plans to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the ground movement, with a view to finding a long-term solution to the problem.
