The gas supply has been disconnected to residents in a Coalsnaughton street following the ongoing ground movement problems in the village.

Nechtan Drive has had its gas cut off as a precautionary measure in connection with the continuing situation.

This comes after 30 homes in Dunmoss View were evacuated on Wednesday (May 27).

It brings the total number of households forced to pack up and leave to 60, after those staying at nearby Benbuck View went through a similar ordeal last Monday (May 18).

Residents are still unable to return, and the cause of the ground movement has yet to be determined.

Clackmannanshire Council said: “The gas supply has been disconnected to residents in Nechtan Drive, Coalsnaughton, as a precautionary measure in connection with the ongoing situation with ground movement in this area.

“Affected residents have been informed and are being supported.”
