WORK to build on a £4.7m development which includes a drive-through Starbucks in Greenock is continuing to progress. 

The frame of the new coffee shop is currently being put in place at the site, which is off the A8 beside the Cartsdyke Roundabout.

Business bosses estimate that the new venture will employ around 20 to 30 staff when finished, with roughly half of them full-time.

Plans for the site were approved in April last year and also include an office block with space to accommodate 100 employees. 

The approved documents include parking for both the office building and coffee shop, with 12 electric vehicle charging points.
