Dungavel to remain open after plans for replacement rejected
Dungavel detention centre is to remain open after plans to build a replacement unit near Glasgow Airport were rejected by councillors.
The Home Office announced last year that the controversial centre near Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, was to close at the end of 2017 and a short-term holding centre built in Paisley.
However, Renfrewshire Council’s Planning and Property Policy Board has rejected the application.
