Labour have said that Conservative claims that events like September’s airshow will generate the money needed to protect services are ‘pie in the sky’.
Councillor Brian McGinley, Labour’s group leader on South Ayrshrie Council, said: “If, as reported, the South Ayrshire Council administration, fronted by Cllr. Dowey, expects to protect council jobs by running events like the airshow then there is your pie in the sky, right there.
“What is true is that the council does need to generate funds, but slashing economic development budgets by more than £200k and reducing learning opportunities for young people is not the way to go about creating the infrastructure to generate income.”
