Labour and the SNP have pushed through a motion aiming to define Islamophobia in a bid to tackle racism in South Ayrshire.
Labour leader Councillor Brian McGinley was backed by SNP leader Peter Henderson in putting the motion before the full council.
The definition stems from a UK parliament enquiry in 2018, and states: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.”
