Tannahill Road, in the Ferguslie Park, is strewn with rubbish, rats, dumped carpets, beds and sofas - and residents are becoming fed up.
The road in Paisley is consistently littered with rubbish and infested with rats. Tommy Eggerty, who lived there for 19 years before moving around the corner, said the council was failing to sort the mess.
He revealed the bus was unable to drive its usual route last week as litter was "dumped in the middle of the road, and carpets were all over the place". The demolition will encompass vacant properties in Ferguslie Park Avenue, Drums Avenue, Tannahill Road and Tannahill Terrace in a move that has sparked relief within the community.
"It's the final spot on Ferguslie's face, if you like, being removed. The community council is looking forward to the continued engagement with the council about the future use of that land for community purposes."
