Employers in Inverclyde have expressed fears for businesses when new National Insurance rates come into force.

Property expert Andrew Bowman believes the ‘grey pound’ is one way of repopulating and revitalising Inverclyde by encouraging retired couples to live there - particularly Greenock.

Inverclyde house prices were among the lowest in Scotland during January.
