Dozens of housing estate residents have launched legal proceedings over claims their homes were built on contaminated land.
Lawyers said some of the residents in and around the estate off Watling Street in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, suffer from a number of health complaints caused by exposure to "neuro-toxic vapours".
They claim the properties were built on land that was not properly decontaminated after it fell out of industrial use, and have raised 42 civil actions with the courts, representing a total of 78 people.
