An abandoned housing estate dubbed 'Scotland's Chernobyl' is set to be demolished after a a long and bitter feud between private landlords and Inverclyde Council, with the local authority confirming officers had been instructed to prepare for compulsory purchase.
The derelict Clune Park estate in Port Glasgow is a stark contrast to the once thriving housing scheme which was filled with a community of shipyard workers in the 1920s.
Less than 10 per cent of residents are now believed to be living in the 430-flat estate after it was abandoned. The site was once the cheapest place to buy property in Britain after one flat sold for just £7,000 at auction.
