TELE photographer George Munro rounds up the pick of his recent photos.

Pic1: It was the turn of school support staff to express their anguish at the school gates over pay, and we were there to catch the action. This picture shows a picket line outside Greeenock's Notre Dame School where staff pressed for managers to return to the negotiating table.

Pic2: As if heralding the beginnings of autumn, heavy rains returned to the streets of Inverclyde causing early morning drivers to make detours to their destinations. The Wemyss Bay railway track was badly affected, as this picture shows.

Greenock Telegraph:

Pic3: A blocked culvert beside Greenock's Peile Lane sent a river of floodwater crashing through a garden wall in the town's west end. I took this shot of James Terry as he told Tele reporter Lorraine Tinney of the moment the double-bricked wall was toppled by tons of overflow from Jardine's Burn, which would normally flow underground to the Clyde downstream.
