Part of one of Helensburgh’s main streets could remain closed until next year because of ongoing concerns over an unsafe building. Helensburgh councillor Gary Mulvaney revealed this week that Argyll and Bute Council officials had sought a six-month closure order for East Clyde Street, between Sinclair Street and Maitland Street, lasting until January 2019.
The street has been closed since the end of May after building standards officials from the authority raised concerns over the condition of a building on the north side of the carriageway.
But the original closure order under which the street was shut has now expired, prompting officials to seek fresh permission to keep the affected section closed.
