West Dunbartonshire Council is set to wipe £150,000 of historic debt left from liquidated or dissolved businesses.
Several companies with ties to establishments in West Dunbartonshire owe the local authority thousands when they decided to cease trading.
This debt has now surmounted to an amount of £150k which is set to be written off by the local authority as it is "irrecoverable."
Companies on the list include JRCSC LTD whose address was listed as Chandler's Bar, and Bernies Bar Ltd, which was listed as Mountblow Bar.
The other companies included are DESIRE CLYDEBANK LTD, DESIRE DUNBARTONSHIRE LTD, BURNS INTERIOR DESIGN LTD and MITCHELLS FUNERAL DIRECTORS.
Of the £150k owed to the council, £145,291 comes from previous Clydebank businesses.
The money due was supposed to be paid as part of the authority's national rate of non-domestic properties which is determined each year by the Scottish Parliament.

All local authorities collect the rates and the monies collected are pooled into a central fund.
The council annual bill for 2024/25 was £92.2m. That year the council was able to collect 98.09% of monies owed to them.
The council's corporate services committee will meet on February 4 to approve or refuse the write-off request from officers.
Despite the wipe, if it arises that debts are treated off but any circumstances change whereby debt can later be collected, the council will pursue this.
