BARRHILL NEWS November 2024
ScotRail ticket offer for Stranraer (and Barrhill) customers
As you will be aware, customers travelling to and from Stranraer were significantly impacted by the fire at the former Station Hotel in Ayr with no train service for a number of months. We know that this was a challenging time for our customers having to make alternative travel arrangements.
As a thank you, we're introducing a two for one ticket offer with customers having the opportunity to claim a free ticket for a friend or family member.
The offer will run from Monday, 18 November 2024, until Friday, 31 January 2025, and is valid on all ScotRail services to or from Stranraer, Barrhill, Girvan, and Maybole stations. Customers will be able to download a voucher and present it along with a valid rail ticket.
For information/application click here
Please note from the terms and Conditions, so not sure if you can buy your ticket on the train:
Customers must buy their ticket before boarding the train from any ScotRail booking office, ticket vending machine, our website or the ScotRail App.

The use of "poop" bags has been successful in helping to keep the village clean but some people are still being inconsiderate in having very kindly bagged their dogs poop they have then just hung the bag in a nearby bush or tree.

Litter along the roadsides is an ongoing problem in and around the village. The Community Council has been negotiating with South Ayrshire Council about litter signs for almost 4 years now with still no end product.
In a hope of improving the litter problem the CC has purchased litter pickers, gloves and bags which are available to anyone who is motivated enough to do some litter picking.

Ann Robertson on 07766 740179 or Andrew Clegg on 01465 821456

DOG FOULING AND USE OF POOP BAGS
The Community Council would like to remind dog owners that "poop" bags are available free of charge from the dispensers at either end of the village.
Please be considerate to other members of the community and clean up after your dogs misdeeds.
The use of "poop" bags has been successful in helping to keep the village clean but some people are still being inconsiderate in having very kindly bagged their dogs poop they have then just hung the bag in a nearby bush or tree. Being a generous soul I would like to think that they were put there with the intention of collecting them on the return journey of their walk rather than a deliberate act. Please dispose of "poop" bags in a hygienic and environmentaly friendly way.

Road Works Schedule
All the Amey roadworks can be seen on their website:
The weekly scheduled roadworks for SW Scotland is available in Excel spreadsheet format here.
Note these are the AMEY maintained roads so does not include the A714.
I can only upload these when they are sent to me so occasionally a week goes missing.
The Amey website has the roadworks always available
Litter
Litter along the roadsides is an ongoing problem in and around the village. The Community Council has been negotiating with South Ayrshire Council about litter signs for almost 4 years now with still no end product.
In a hope of improving the litter problem the CC has purchased litter pickers, gloves and bags which are available to anyone who is motivated enough to do some litter picking.
If you need any of these items contact either:
Ann Robertson on 07766 740179 or Andrew Clegg on 01465 821456
and we will get the supplies needed to you.
Church Services
Ths services in the hall have restarted and are on the third Sunday of the month.

DOG FOULING AND USE OF POOP BAGS
The Community Council would like to remind dog owners that "poop" bags are available free of charge from the dispensers at either end of the village.
Please be considerate to other members of the community and clean up after your dogs misdeeds.
The use of "poop" bags has been successful in helping to keep the village clean but some people are still being inconsiderate in having very kindly bagged their dogs poop they have then just hung the bag in a nearby bush or tree. Being a generous soul I would like to think that they were put there with the intention of collecting them on the return journey of their walk rather than a deliberate act. Please dispose of "poop" bags in a hygienic and environmentaly friendly way.
