GREENOCK’S yellow house is finally being repainted white after a long running wrangle between the owners and town planners came to an end.

The Esplanade property became the subject of complaints after owners the Varese family repainted it a couple of years ago.

Council officials subsequently ruled that its fresh lemon zest exterior was not in keeping with the west end conservation area and ordered that it be repainted, sparking a lengthy dispute which was finally settled recently.
