The council is seeking approval to sell a piece of land to become an electric vehicle charging station.

A West Dunbartonshire Council committee will decide next week whether to approve plans to sell a piece of land by the A82 for it to become a charging hub.

Osprey Charging Network Ltd has offered to purchase the piece of land for £150,000.

The vacant area currently lies off Kilbowie Road on the south-eastern boundary with Great Western Road (A82).

If the committee agrees to the purchase it is hoped it could provide improved job opportunities and contribute to the local economy.
