Troon residents are being offered another opportunity to have their say on how South Ayrshire Council undertakes road improvements, road maintenance and road repairs.

The council had previously hosted a series of roadshows for the public and the format proved so successful the idea is being repeated, with five evening roadshows across South Ayrshire planned for in February.

Your local session is in Walker Hall on Wednesday, February 15 at 7pm, where there will be representatives from the council's road, transport, structures and street lighting services who will answer any questions.

Recent extreme and adverse weather conditions have brought considerable interest in the council's work to maintain and improve the road network and the roadshow will offer residents a chance to ask questions, make comments and have their voices heard.

The session will also offer the opportunity to discuss other issues that have been brought to the council's attention such as the Road Improvement Plan, winter service provision, festive lighting and parking.

Councillor Peter Convery, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for Sustainability and the Environment, urged locals to attend the roadshows.

He said: "We want to meet and hear from as many people as possible and all ideas, views and suggestions, especially those which could influence and contribute to future council decisions, will be considered.

"We recognise the importance of working closely with local communities to make sure our planning, maintenance and improvement programmes closely reflect local needs.

"In the past, we've enjoyed excellent support from communities and residents, particularly during the unprecedented cold weather we experienced in 2010 and 2011.

"This second series of roadshows offer a direct opportunity for people to have their say on how we can improve our service.”

If you are unable to attend, you can still make your thoughts known by writing to Mike Newall, Head of Planning and Enterprise, Burns House, Burns Statue Square, Ayr KA7 1UT, or by emailing traffic@south-ayrshire.gov.uk
