As part of that consultation we're inviting local people and those with an interest in the area to our live event. We'll have members of our Enviornmental Health Team, Ayrshire Roads Alliance and Ayrshire 360 on hand to help answer questions and help people make their submissions.
It's aimed primarily at people who live in the area, work there or just enjoy the many outdoor pursuits on offer. come along and tell us what you think.
