Following ground movement which began in May 2026, 97 properties at Benbuck View, Dunmoss View, Nechtan Drive and Langour were evacuated. The sites were secured and evacuated safely, without any injuries.
Local Resilience Partners, including the Council and the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) have been working together to protect the safety of the residents and to support them during this major incident.
Following specialist investigations, the MRA has concluded that the ground movement is linked to historical coal mining.
The MRA is contacting affected residents directly to explain the findings of its investigation, what the outcome means for them and the next steps it intends to take. The Council and our partners will continue to work closely alongside the MRA to ensure residents receive practical support, advice and assistance during this period.
The Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) is the first point of contact for most enquiries. However, the Council remains available to provide support.
The MRA has allocated a dedicated Community Support Account Manager to each affected household who will answer any questions and guide them through the next steps.
