4. COUNCILLOR’S REPORT: Councillor Goldie handed out copies of the most recent Chief Executive’s Bulletin. There has been a positive response to the Regeneration Project in Ayr. There is still no good news on road repairs. Advised Councillor Goldie of the problem of water still running across the road at Lagg Brae. During the frosty weather this had been very icy and may have been the cause of a road traffic accident. Councillor Low spoke of the grants available through Ayrshire Leader and that we may benefit from them. Informed us of CCCF who would like to encourage visitors to visit and stay in the south of the area instead of just passing through. Also spoke about energy saving heating. We advised her that until the hall has had repairs to the roof and other heat saving measures, the search for new heating was on hold.
