Experts are investigating ongoing ground movement in a former mining village, with no confirmed cause and continued evacuations for over a month.

• The Mining Remediation Authority is conducting an eight-week investigation and has observed reduced but still ongoing movement in two streets.
• Over 100 homes were evacuated, with residents facing prolonged displacement and ongoing monitoring required before repairs can begin.
• The government allocated £1 million to support the council in handling the emergency.
