Coalsnaughton ground movement: ‘We were given 10 minutes to leave our homes’

Marc and Laarni Payoyo and their three children have only lived in their home in Dunmoss View since February.
Laarni, 37, said cracks had appeared at the top of their kitchen wall before Wednesday’s evacuation.
She said: “In the morning we were woken up by people talking on the street and wondered, what’s that noise?
“But the night before we were already hearing strange noises at night. We thought, that’s strange maybe it’s the wind.
“My husband went out straight away but when he was trying to open the door it’s kind of jammed a bit.”
The family have packed some of their belongings and have moved into temporary accommodation in Stirling.
Laarni said: “It’s a hassle because the kids go to school here.”
She said she tried to stay positive after Benbuck View was evacuated last week.
“I was praying, because we just moved in here almost four months ago,” she added.
“There’s too much to process at the moment
“We’re just taking one thing at for a while for now and the good thing is we can still get our stuff.”
