Clune Park - Abandoned housing estate in Port Glasgow
The area was once a thriving community of shipyard workers in the 1920s Inverclyde but has fallen into a desperate state.
Inverclyde council have plans for a 31m transformation of the derelict Clune Park estate in Port Glasgow but many of the flats are are privately owned.
The local authority has been battling for over a decade to gain control of privately-owned flats on the eyesore estate, so that it can send in the bulldozers.
Over the years vandals and arsonists have targeted the estate, leaving many homes beyond repair.
The preferred option for the site's regeneration, would include the construction of 135 new homes in a mixture of flats, cottage flats and houses.
Of the 400+ flats it is estimated that only 6 are inhabited.
