Anti-social behaviour near Ayr harbour has been blasted as “out of control” as fed-up residents plead for more measures to be put in place to reduce the “mayhem” caused by scores of teens.
Several residents living around the town’s pier have complained of gangs of teenagers congregating near the old coastguard lookout tower at the seafront, who are said to be drinking alcohol, shouting, swearing, playing loud music and urinating in public view.
Graffiti is also said to be scrawled on beach walls, around the historic Watchful boat, and the coal resin Gateway sculpture, while rubbish is left strewn on the ground and glass bottles smashed on the sands.
