Demolition orders are issued at Clune Park

DEMOLITION orders have been issued to property owners at Clune Park in Port Glasgow.

Structural damage to flats in Robert Street.

The council announced the move yesterday afternoon.

It is the latest stage of a plan which involves Inverclyde Council committing 2.6 million of public money to tackle physical and social regeneration on the estate.

Under the councils plans, a total of 430 properties are to be levelled to create a new opportunity for social housing.

In a statement issued yesterday, the council said that in recent years the Clune Park area has been a byword for irresponsible private landlords and even home to drug den flats.

Municipal Buildings bosses want to flatten the estate and find new homes for the existing residents and tenants.

The local authority says that years of minimal investment by owners in communal repairs, and a new examination of the estate, mean they must now step in and use legislative powers to address the issues.
