Decision to bin Ayr leisure centre 'won't' scupper £20m grant despite government's silence on matter

Council Leader Martin Dowey insists that the cancellation of Ayr Leisure Centre won’t impact on the council’s bid for £20m in levelling-up funds.

Labour group leader Brian McGinley said he believed the move would scupper the bid submitted at the end of June.

But Cllr Dowey said that the bid was based on improving leisure facilities in Ayr, rather than the leisure centre project itself.
