An emergency road closure in Coalsnaughton will last for three weeks.

This comes after residents from 30 homes were evacuated from Benbuck View earlier in the week (Monday, May 18) after there was evidence of “ground movement”.

Clackmannanshire Council later revealed that there was “no clear timescale” on how long the works would take.

Now, the street is subject to an emergency road closure which is required for ground investigations and for safety reasons.

Temporary traffic lights are now in place in the area of Benbuck View’s junction with The Glen.
