Inverclyde

The tenements at Clune Park in the Inverclyde town of Port Glasgow were built a century ago as housing for shipyard workers but have lain mostly abandoned for years.

Inverclyde Council leader Stephen McCabe says back in the 1990s refurbishment was considered but no funding was available and a complete rebuild was thought better value.

A large fire on a hillside in Inverclyde led to a smoke over Greenock and the Clyde, prompting ships to sound their foghorns.

Political groups on Inverclyde Council have proposed rises of 7.75% and 8.5% and Highland Council has proposed raising council tax by 7%.

Last year Inverclyde Council initially defied a national council tax freeze announced by Humza Yousaf at an SNP conference.
