South Ayrshire Council have claimed that a sports hall could be added to the new Ayr Leisure Centre in the future.
The claim was made by project officer Derek Yuille as the council’s Regulatory Panel approved planning permission for the controversial centre by five votes to four.
The issue of a future hall was raised by Troon SNP councillor Craig Mackay, who said he would have liked to see such a facility and asked about possible extensions in the future.
