  • Update on roadworks

    The roadworks at The Croft

    Should be completed by Friday 22nd May, according to the Ayrshire Roads Alliance.

    Progress at The Croft, Friday 15th May

    I called them today (Friday 15th), and was assured that the work should be completed by next Friday.

    However…

    This is the first time ARA have used Stepford contractors, and they’ve had to chase them up several times.

    Reading between the lines, I think that means don’t hold your breath…

    I just hope for the sake of the suspension on all of our vehicles that they do complete on time.

    We can’t wait for the south road to be resurfaced – at least we can thank the Community Council and South Ayrshire for the work on that being set in motion!

  • The Worst Road in Scotland?

    Who can deny this is the worst road in Scotland?

    This is the main access road to Dunure from the south.
    It takes the driver past some of the best views across the bay to Culzean.

    Woe betide any driver who takes their eyes off the road for a fraction of a second though – the state of the road requires full attention!

    Thanks to June Anderson for taking the time to create, and agreeing to share, this video.

    This has been an ongoing problem for years.

    It has been discussed at Community Council multiple times – click on the tag cloud to see when.

    It was discussed again at the December Community Council meeting.

    Ayrshire Roads Alliance had been invited to attend the meeting.
    Ayrshire Roads Alliance failed to provide a representative.

    Provost Campbell undertook to ensure they attend the next meeting of the Community Council.

    If you agree that this is an urgent issue requiring our support, please make sure you attend the next meeting of the Community Council and make your views known to Ayrshire Roads Alliance.

    The next Community Council meeting is on Tuesday 20th January at 7:00 in the Kennedy Hall.

  • South Ayrshire to promote Gaelic in schools

    South Ayrshire to promote Gaelic in schools

    A five year plan to increase the use of Gaelic in South Ayrshire has been approved by Councillors.

    Once the plan has been approved by Bòrd na Gàidhlig, parents children and staff will be encouraged to learn and use Gaelic.

    The plan replaces the previous plan, which ran until 2025.

    While recognising that there is limited demand at present for Gaelic in South Ayrshire, the plan recognises that it’s important there is support for those who want to learn and use the language.

    You can see from the paper that there are many opportunities for people to indicate an interest in learning Gaelic, and when that interest is sufficient then we are clearly able to provide that for them.

    Councillor Hugh Hunter

    Councillor Alec Clark commented “Sacred Heart School in Girvan ran a
    very successful season of Gaelic which went down really well.”

    You can download a copy of the draft plan here from the South Ayrshire website.
