Derelict Clune Park has been virtually empty for years and pictures show it resembling something from a post-apocalyptic film.
An abandoned Scots housing estate dubbed 'Britain's Chernobyl' is set to be finally demolished - despite its final residents vowing not to move.
Inverclyde Council, which issued the notices on 16 July, believes the buildings are beyond repair and should be knocked down. The dangerous building notices are the latest stage of the Clune Park Regeneration Plan which aims to demolish all 45 original buildings within the estate and build new housing units in their place.Speaking last year, Marshal Craig, 71, said he was one of just five people left there but had no plans to move- claiming it is "idyllic".
"Now, out of the 480 families that would be able to stay here, there's only five of us left holding down the fort."I'm really happy here, it's my home and I've lived here for 20 years so I don't want to go." "We have been proactively acquiring properties for a number of years and now own over half the estate and the door remains open for private owners to negotiate the sale of the remaining properties in the area.
