Eighteen properties have been evacuated and a main road in St Ninians closed to traffic after a building was found to be in a dangerous condition.
The property, located on St Ninians Main Street near the Lidl supermarket, was visited by a private contractor on Wednesday and concerns were raised over the condition of several chimney stacks on the roof prompting an inspection by Stirling Council building safety officers and engineers.
A ‘safety exclusion zone’ has now been set up around the building in question, with images from the site showing extensive fencing and several workers on site assessing the condition of the property.
