Residents of another 30 homes in Coalsnaughton have been evacuated after more ground movement was detected in the area.
Those living at Dunmoss View have now had to pack up and leave due to an incident which was confirmed to have taken place by the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) earlier today.
It comes after 30 households at nearby Benbuck View were told to leave last Monday evening in similar circumstances.
Clackmannanshire Council chief executive Nikki Bridle said: “The priority of all local resilience partners continues to be the safety of everyone involved, and our officers remain in the local area to offer further guidance to residents during what we appreciate is a worrying time for them.
“This includes offering support to the residents as they navigate the next steps, which will include contacting their insurers.
“The specialist investigations undertaken by the MRA are expected to take some time to complete, and we will continue to make sure that residents can be updated with progress as soon as this information becomes available.”
Affected families who live at Benbuck View are still staying in temporary accommodation.
One local resident said: “They’ve been aware since this morning that there was movement overnight. There were pavement slabs going up, cracks in buildings, doors not fitting in frames, just almost exactly what happened with Benbuck View.
“People are just going to their family and friends. It’s a real time of uncertainty and people are looking to understand what happens next. There are so many circumstances at play here and people further up the hill will be wondering ‘are we next in line?’”
