A new pared-down Ayr leisure centre proposal was dismissed as ‘a big puddle in a car park with a roof over it’ by South Ayrshire Council Leader Martin Dowey on Thursday.
The council was split on whether to accept the revised proposal which would cut the size of the centre by 20 per cent and reduce the pool, scrap the flumes and remove a play zone amongst others.
The decision on the matter came down to the casting vote of Provost Iain Campbell after the vote ended in a tie.
