MSP Sharon Dowey has voiced her “serious concerns” over the proposed £100m incinerator at the Barr Killoch site near Ochiltree.
The controversial proposals have so far received 1,174 objections — with an additional 500 signed individual objections handed in at East Ayrshire Council’s headquarters.
Protestors point to the environmental impact of the scheme as well as the effect it will have on the appearance of the area.
