The department responsible for managing, leasing and selling South Ayrshire Council property has no dedicated staff, it has been revealed.
The issue was raised at the council’s Cabinet last week, as council leader Martin Dowey pointed out that there were a number of overdue items, largely falling within the Estates remit.
South Ayrshire Council’s Asset Manager, Tom Burns, admitted that difficulties recruiting over the last six months meant that the Estates department had no members of staff and ‘had to push back dates detailed in the action log’.
