Progress
Delivery of the Clune Park Regeneration Plan continues and to date 68 new houses have been constructed off-site and 6 buildings have an active demolition order where plans for physical demolition of the buildings are being progressed. Inverclyde Council have acquired 165 properties within the area and a further 90 are subject to Closing Orders. The survey programme is continuing, further Closing and Demolition Orders will be served where appropriate and the offer of transfer of ownership to Inverclyde Council is open to all owners. Progress of these elements contributes to the overall progress of the Clune Park Regeneration Plan towards demolition of this unsustainable estate.
The Council has also approved a Masterplan for the future development of the Clune Park area. This focuses on the area to the north of Robert Street which the Masterplan identifies as being suitable for the development of 80 new homes for social rent, with a mix of flats and family houses. The masterplan also identifies proposals for the Clune Park school and church buildings/sites, land to the south of Ashgrove Lane and other sites and buildings in and around the Clune Park area. An extract from the masterplan providing details for the area as a whole and the individual sites is available to view/download from this page. The Council is now liaising with the Scottish Government and River Clyde Homes on implementing the masterplan.
Residents and those with a positive interest in the area should rest assured that Inverclyde Council is committed to the long term regeneration of the Clune Park area. We cannot stand by and watch Clune Park deteriorate even further with the poor housing conditions and appalling social problems which have subsisted in this area.
