The new Conservative administration in South Ayrshire has voted to search for alternative sites for a Gypsy Traveller facility – just as it appeared that they had finally settled on a way ahead.
It is the third time that officers have been asked to go and look for sites for a transit facility over the last 12 months.
The previous administration had agreed on Cockhill Farm, outside Ayr, as its preferred location having exhausted other options which were either not in council ownership or faced significant objections.
