More than 5,000 diseased ash trees face the axe in South Ayrshire, at a cost of almost £7m over the next seven years.
South Ayrshire Council has been assessing the risk caused by the spread of Ash Dieback, which weakens Ash trees to the point where they are a safety risk.
The council’s cabinet will hear a report on a seven year plan to address the issue from depute chief executive Mike Newall on Tuesday.
