A sinking mining village evacuated over unexplained 'ground movement' is still shifting by 10mm a week - but some locals are refusing to leave.Dozens of people have been forced to head away from Coalsnaughton in Scotland and might not be allowed to return until at least next Christmas.The village was evacuated after residents reported lifted paving stones and cracks appearing in gardens, walls, floors and roads.Scotland's First Minister John Swinney visited last Friday and has pledged £1million towards recovery efforts. Yet some families have insisted they would not leave, while others are said to be left in 'in limbo' in hotels and Airbnb locations weeks after the problems first emerged.Officials are still searching for answers on the ground movement and more than 250 residents have been told to move out.But some who have chosen to stay behind are preparing to submit a formal complaint to Clackmannanshire Council over claims of 'misinformation' over the risk to their properties.The Mining Remediation Authority, which has been on the ground in the village for the past few weeks, says there is up to 10mm of ground movement happening every week in the affected streets.In total, there has been 345mm of ground movement in Dunmoss View and 300mm in Benbuck View. Dozens of people have been forced to head away from Coalsnaughton in Scotland after what has been described as 'ground movement' - with police cordoning off local areas The village was evacuated after residents reported lifted paving stones and cracks appearing in gardens, walls, floors and roadsBut this does not include movement that occurred during the initial event back in May.Brian Leishman, the MP for Alloa and Grangemouth, highlighted how many families were struggling to find suitable accommodation in the area.He told the Scotsman newspaper: 'The Mining Remediation Authority has still not determined the root cause of this, so the families are still in limbo.'My office is helping people with insurance claims and utility contracts, and helping them get temporary accommodation but a lot are still in hotels or Airbnbs.'I know of one family that is being shunted daily from hotel to hotel, which is not great for the kids or the adults.'Temporary accommodation is the big issue at the moment, because the MRA can only go as fast as it can.'It is not going to get resolved in the next few weeks.'Keith Brown, the MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, also said it was unlikely those who have been evacuated would be able to return home before Christmas. Scotland's First Minister John Swinney visited the village last Friday Officials are still searching for answers on the ground movement in Coalsnaughton and more than 250 residents have been told to move outHe also said he could 'see no other conclusion than this being mining-related', and has written to UK Energy Minister Michael Shanks, asking him to visit the village.Mr Brown added: 'People in the village are experiencing the worst anxiety and have said the not knowing is the issue. The movement is still taking place.'Sensors have been fitted to some houses on the edge of the cordon where various residents have chosen to stay put.This includes inside Lezley Creevy's house where alarms will go off if the sensors detect any significant movement.She stays in Langour, where residents have been told to evacuate, but many have chosen to stay put instead as they believe their older buildings will withstand the ground movement.She said: 'It's not great. It is still not clear what is happening but I think it has stopped in our street.'But we are putting in a formal complaint to the council over the misinformation they are giving us - they are telling us our buildings are falling down when they've only been out once in four weeks.'The MRA is constantly checking in on us and giving us information and what is moving and is not moving, and have said it is safe for us to stay here despite having some cracks. Houses have been evacuated in Coalsnaughton, Clackmannanshire Sensors have been fitted to some houses on the edge of the cordon where various residents have chosen to stay put 'They are not hiding about what is going on even though we are in a difficult situation.'Some of us have been threatened under dangerous buildings legislation as well, so we are trying to get a face-to-face meeting with the council.'We are all worrying and it is affecting our health and wellbeing. It is making a horrible situation even more horrible.'The Mining Remediation Authority said it was 'not yet in a position' to say what caused the ground movement, with an eight-week long investigation still ongoing.Further drilling inside the cordon is due to begin this week.Carl Banton, chief operations director at the Mining Remediation Authority, said: 'Monitoring and investigation work is continuing at pace to help us better understand what is happening below the surface.'To do this we are carrying out camera scans, underground surveys and geophysics investigations to help identify any mine workings and build a clearer picture of ground conditions.'LiDAR surveys are continuing weekly to compare movement over time and create heat maps that help us track any changes across the area.'This week, we will complete the borehole drilling at Benbuck View as part of our initial investigation works and we will be undertaking further drilling at Nechtan Drive, Dunmoss View and The Glen. Families are seen leaving their homes – with cracks having appeared and houses 'tipping' over'Following this, monitoring instrumentation will be installed in the boreholes which will provide essential data to help us understand whether ground movement has stabilised, which we expect may take around two weeks.'He added: 'Our thoughts remain with the residents affected and we would like to assure the community that we are doing all we can, as quickly as possible, alongside the local resilience partnership to understand the cause of this incident, and identify the potential activity needed to make the area safe again.'The Mining Remediation Authority also said a quarter of British homes sit on or near former coalfields, but for 'the vast majority' the land remained 'stable and safe'.Nikki Bridle, chief executive of Clackmannanshire Council, said: 'As part of the ongoing work to keep affected residents informed of progress, partner organisations held an update meeting for those residents on Tuesday 23 June.'The priority of all local resilience partners continues to be the safety and welfare of everyone involved, and that includes staff, contractors and residents accessing the site.'Our officers continue to work tirelessly to support residents during what we appreciate is an extremely worrying and uncertain time.'Clackmannanshire Council continues to engage directly with residents impacted by this incident and provide support to those residents with temporary accommodation and other welfare-related support. Updates on this provision were provided at the meeting.'
