Meet the last residents of a ghost-town housing estate which was earmarked for demolition 15 years ago.

Of 240 houses on the Deans South estate in Livingston, West Lothian, only ten are occupied.

The handful of residents clinging on have refused to sell up to West Lothian Council, insisting that they are not being offered enough cash for their homes, which were built in the 1960s as council houses.

And while a developer has offered to rehome residents if they agree to sell to them so their houses to be demolished, it is dependent on all the homeowners agreeing to a deal - which has not happened.

This video was shot 7th September 2019.
