Independent candidate Bob Shields blasted South Ayrshire Council for ‘failing’ the area when it ripped up a £250,000 contract supporting the Scottish International Airshow.
The airshow had run from 2014 until 2019 but the council pulled the plug after claiming they had handed out £80,000 to the airshow ‘in error’ in 2019.
Its claim that the organisers had breached terms of their agreement was disputed by the organisers, who later insisted that the return of the event to Ayr was down to the council.
