Clune Park was once a thriving housing scheme, however, it now lies in ruin
An abandoned housing estate near Glasgow, which has been dubbed 'Scotland's Chernobyl', is set to be bulldozed after a long dispute between private landlords and and Inverclyde Council, with the local authority confirming officers had been instructed to prepare for compulsory purchase.
The scheme is now frequently targeted by vandals and arsonists, with some properties heavily damaged by fire, while a church and primary school on the estate are also boarded up. "Outside of the flats, it is surprising to see people still going about their normal lives and going into houses next to the estate when 80 per cent of it is derelict. 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."
