As construction continues apace at the site of the new Ayrshire Innovation Park, Moorfield Kilmarnock, some essential roadworks will be commencing on Monday 5 January 2026 for approximately ten weeks.

Free parking after 1pm will be available within all Council car parks and on-street parking bays in Kilmarnock town centre from Friday 12 December until Wednesday 31 December to help shoppers at the busiest time of the year.

A successful ‘I Drive’ event, run in partnership by the Ayrshire Roads Alliance and North Ayrshire Council, recently offered drivers the chance to learn more about road safety.

Ayrshire Roads Alliance (ARA) has seen a recent increase in the display of flags on streets across East Ayrshire.

The Ayrshire Roads Alliance (ARA) is planning to trial 20mph speed limits on all local roads in Mauchline, New Cumnock, Kilmaurs and Crookedholm.

Progress on King Street Kilmarnock is continuing apace.

Works at the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock will shortly commence and a number of access changes will be put in place to accommodate these works.

We can advise that demolition of the property on King Street is now complete, with remedial clean-up works taking place this afternoon. The large demolition crane will move off site later today.

The demolition of the property destroyed by the fire on King Street has been moving at pace throughout the week, with all indications suggesting these works should be complete by tomorrow, Friday 25 July.

More restrictions on King Street will be lifted from 2pm today, providing pedestrian access and allowing more businesses and retailers to open. 

King Street will partially reopen this evening, following discussions with the demolition contractors and building standards.
