Forehill Library at 31-33 Mt Oliphant Crescent is a hive of activity! Your local library is an ideal place to spend some time and is open to all ages 0-100! Why not check it out and try something new?

There are board games and jigsaws, a knit and natter group, a colouring book station and as colouring books are increasingly found to be a good source of therapy and relaxation- adults are catered for here too!

ESSENTIAL CORING INVESTIGATIONS ON THE A77 BETWEEN THE HOLMSTON AND BANKFIELD ROUNDABOUTS COMMENCES THURSDAY 14TH SEPTEMBER 2023 

 

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland as part of the Network Management Contract for the South-West Trunk Road Unit, are undertaking essential coring investigations on the A77 between the Holmston and Bankfield Roundabouts in Ayr. The investigations are prior to resurfacing works being scheduled and will take place on Thursday 14th September and Friday 15th September 2023, between the hours of 8pm and 6am each night. 

To undertake these investigations a closure of the A77 southbound carriageway at this location will be required with a signed diversion route in operation. Traffic intending to travel on the A77 southbound will be diverted via the third exit at Holmston Roundabout to join the A70, Holmston Road. From here, traffic will turn left on the A713, Castlehill Road and will be able to re-join the A77 at Bankfield Roundabout.  

Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works. 

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.   

For media enquiries please contact Amey’s press office on 01865 713240 or by email: press.office@amey.co.uk. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook @SWTrunkRoads
