Residents in North Lanarkshire say they are increasingly worried about a smouldering, underground fire near their homes.
The fire, believed to have started in July, is at a colliery in Coatbridge, and is leaving back gardens coated in soot – raising fears about respiratory health. The local council says it could take some time to put out the fire.
