Ayr’s political figures have called for concrete plans regarding the future of the Station Hotel following a fire at the weekend.
A blaze broke out at the empty building on Sunday afternoon with seven fire appliances racing to the scene to tackle the blaze. Ayr train station was evacuated with overhead lines switched off, impacting services to and from the town.
Two 17-year-old boys have since been arrested and charged in connection with the fire and will appear at Ayr Sheriff Court at a later date. Now Ayr’s politicians have called for action before another incident occurs.
