Proposals by North Ayrshire Labour to set up a high street buyout fund to tackle privately owned vacant and derelict sites in North Ayrshire to regenerate communities has been rejected.
The call came from Councillor Nairn McDonald, who told Thursday's Audit and Scrutiny Committee: “Labour introduced the place- based framework project to secure external funding to bring derelict land back to use.
“The biggest issues in our high streets is the blight of derelict sites. We argue we must move into delivery of these projects.”
