The derelict Clune Park in Port Glasgow has been almost entirely abandoned since 1997.
An abandoned housing estate known as 'Britain's Chernobyl ' is set to finally be demolished despite five residents vowing not to move.It was originally built in 1905 but the 430 flats on the estate have decayed so much in the past two decades that it now resembles the set of a post-apocalyptic film.Inverclyde Council, which issued the notices on 16 July, believes the buildings are beyond repair and should be knocked down.
'In some ways it's quite idyllic. My house is built like a castle. The walls are thick and sturdy, there's a nice view and no dampness.The council has now issued dangerous building notices for 138 properties.

'Now, out of the 480 families that would be able to stay here, there's only five of us left holding down the fort.'I'm really happy here, it's my home and I've lived here for 20 years so I don't want to go.' The estate in Port Glasgow in Inverclyde was privately owned but Inverclyde Council has bought more than half the properties and wants to demolish the lot.The council had invited private owners to appeal against the notices but no objections were received by the deadline of 6 August.
'We have been proactively acquiring properties for a number of years and now own over half the estate and the door remains open for private owners to negotiate the sale of the remaining properties in the area.
