We’ve had an update from Dynamic Dunure.
It appeared on the Dunure Facebook page on Monday (9th March).
It’s quite hard to read it there, so we’ve printed the text below.
This isn’t an updated Business Plan, which we were hoping for.
Our initial analysis of the Business Plan has been revised, and will be shared with the community as soon as possible.
Given that South Ayrshire Council are on record saying that they cannot afford to subsidise community centres, it is alarmingly likely that after the first year the Helm will either be closed or sold to the private sector.
The village would then have no community centre at all.
This is an important development for our village, and it needs frank and open debate both for and against.
Dynamic Dunure Update
p.s. The figure given by Dynamic Dunure for the contribution of South Ayrshire Council of £2 million is incorrect.
The correct figure is in fact nearer to £3 million (Community Council minutes of November 2025).
