East Ayrshire Council had to fork out over 25 per cent more to repair six bridges than originally agreed, a report has revealed.
Ayrshire Roads Alliance carried out almost £925,000 of bridge repairs on mostly minor roads.
Kevin Braidwood, head of Ayrshire Roads Alliance, told East Ayrshire Council’s Cabinet that this was almost £200,000 more than the original agreed contracts, with increases due to a variety of reasons.
