For bookings contact Louise Ottaway on 07387 759052 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 2 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.

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 village shop. 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. Report Road Defects The link below is to Ayrshire Roads Alliance.

Come and enjoy a social evening with the benefit of some exercise disguised as fun. Footpath to Feoch Meadows This was created as part of the forestry development on what was Artnoch land jointly funded by Tilhill and BCC. There are marker post along the path. Footing is uneven in places and there is one steep section. Signposts are now in place at the start of the footpath. The footpath leads from next to Feoch bridge on the A714 (parking for 4/5 cars) up to Feoch Meadows and is approximately 1 mile in length (1.6km). There are bridges over the deeper cuts but you can still expect there to be boggy patches, not too surprising as this is a site well known for its Marsh Orchids.

I can watch sport online via BBC or SKY without buffering. The other weekend I had windows with Rugby, Football and Cricket all open and without any buffering. Speed still dips in the evenings but this is probably due to the server end not the connection. For those nearer the exchange speeds will be greater for those outside the village the speeds will reduce according to distance from the exchange.

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. Report Road Defects The link below is to Ayrshire Roads Alliance.
