DANGEROUS building notices have been served on nearly 140 properties in Port Glasgow’s eyesore Clune Park housing estate by Inverclyde Council.

The notices state that the buildings appear to Inverclyde Council to ‘constitute a danger’ and that they must be knocked down.

Officers served the notices on 138 flats across 15 tenement blocks at the estate on July 16. 

The building owners had the right to appeal against the notice but none had done so by the deadline of August 6.

The council plan to demolish all 430 flats at the run down site and already own many of them.

Listed building consent has also been given to knock down the derelict former Clune Park church and school.

A masterplan proposing 135 new homes is being developed.

A report updating councillors states: “The Clune Park estate remains under investigation with further surveys ongoing of other potentially dangerous buildings.

“Tenders are currently being sought for the demolition of the flats, school and church.

“The estate remains under supervision with CCTV, extra community warden patrols and new security fencing erected to deter entry by members of the public.”
