Councillors will be asked to approve a proposal to demolish much of Ayr’s iconic Station Hotel this week.
Since 2018, South Ayrshire Council has been paying around £60,000 a month to ‘encapsulate’ the crumbling building to ensure public safety after it was left to deteriorate by owner Eng Huat Ung.
In March the council commissioned a £25k report to see how it could best meet its legal obligations to make the site safe.
