Demolition work to remove vacant properties will begin next month in West Dunbartonshire.

The nine-week scheme forms the first phase of the Mitchell Way redevelopment project and is set to start on Tuesday, 03 May.

Plans for Mitchell Way in Alexandria include a new Lidl store and a three-storey development of homes along with retail units.

The Lidl outlet will also have a car park with 145 spaces, which is to be created in the area of land being cleared by the demolition work.

Once the vacant units are removed, a second phase of demolition work will begin including the removal of the former medical centre and other vacant units on Bank Street.

Council Leader Martin Rooney said: "This is a significant milestone in the plans to regenerate Alexandria Town Centre. The Council is committed to improving economic growth and by redeveloping Mitchell Way it will provide a renewed focal point for the community.

"These units have been vacant for some time so I am pleased that they will now be demolished as work to breathe new life into the area gets under way."
