The derelict estate was once the cheapest place to buy property in Britain after one flat sold for just £7,000 at auction
An abandoned housing estate dubbed 'Scotland's Chernobyl' is set to be demolished after a a long and bitter feud between private landlords and Inverclyde Council, with the local authority confirming officers had been instructed to prepare for compulsory purchase.
Vandals and arsonists have frequently targeted the scheme over the years, with some flats extensively damaged by fire, while a church and primary school on the estate are also boarded up and abandoned.

It is sad in a way to see what would have once been a thriving community, where everyone knew each other, all falling into itself in a derelict state."
