Clydeport have hired window cleaners to help clean up Fairlie after 'exceptional' weather conditions led to dust pollution covering houses, cars and boats.

Readers alerted the Largs News Facebook page last week of a dust problem as window sills were covered with dust in the village.

A Clydeport spokesman said: ""We must emphasise that these were exceptional circumstances, almost unique for the area, and we are now looking into how the problem could be prevented in the rare possibility that they should occur again." Full story in this week's Largs and MIllport News.
